Boy, someone should make you a campaign manager. You seem to know everything. :-/
You can not like what I have to say, but that sort of ad is exactly why the GOP lost pa-18 and why OH 12 which should have been a slam dunk barely eeked out.
His sort of CRAP, and it is crap, is why not a single republican senate candidate sans the MN one is polling more than 10+ points down.
The GOP seems incapable of running an effective campaign in any part of the country where they are not the majority. Trump targeted this part of the country right out of the gate in 2016 and, effectively took it... and the GOP, even after being shown how to win here, has learned NOTHING.
In this part of the country, with a motivated democratic base, and they are motivated, you can’t win a statewide race simply by calling the democrat names... democrats outnumber republicans... you have to attract the disenfranchised D’s, independents and crossover voters... if you want to win... and this sort of ad, while a good sell for you base is NOT going to reach any of those people and move them to vote for you.
If all the GOP turns out is their typical mid term base they lose... statewide anyway in these states and that’s exactly what is going on. Trump took every one of these states and here we are at the mid terms and not a single state that he won is the Republican senate candidate polling within 10!!!! If you refuse to recognize something is grossly wrong the you are in denial.
There will be a Kavanaugh bump they make make a few of these less embarrassing at the end of the day, but without the GOP changing it’s messaging and tactics quickly none of PA, MI, OH or WI are going to elect and R to th Senate this fall.
Don’t have to like what I have to say, and frankly I wish I didn’t have to say it because there is NO EXCUSE for the GOP doing as badly as they are here other than complete ineptitude and incompetence.
