Yep. Even my kids who play Minecraft know what a MOB is, and you can get trapped by mobs in that game and killed.

Perfect metaphor.

It’s a concise statement of the parties: Democrats are for mobs; Republicans are for jobs.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, mobs have been disrupting this country for years—bought by Democrats and supported by Democrat politicians. The only synonym that describe Antifa, BLM. Occupy l, etc. is terrorism, but it doesn’t work.

It’s a small thing but it’s funny they can’t get the details right.

It’s: Jobs Not Mobs!

Not: Jobs Or Mobs.

“The Republicans have not fulfilled their promises to the base of the Republican Party and to the Independents and Democrats who walked over and voted for President Trump. I’m specifically talking about the failure to do a complete repeal of Obamacare and also the failure to build a border wall. Those two things were integral to Donald Trump winning the nomination first and then winning the presidency. It resonated with people,” he added.

I agree these things should have been done but I don’t agree with the logic that says:

Because Republicans failed to support Trump, then we should vote for Democrats.

Brain cells, people. Brain cells.

I agree that the utter failure of the Republican-led congress to pass any of the things they promised (notable exception: tax cuts) is contributing to their election woes.

What is most interesting to me is the utter collapse of Never-Trump. Regardless of whether the Republicans hold the house, there will be a higher percent of Trump-supporters in both the house and the Senate. And while I think Romney’s two-faced revision of history is slimy, I am amused that he is running away from his Never-Trump past.

I have far too much experience watching congress critters campaign as staunch conservatives and govern as moderates to be enthusiastically optimistic — but even a jaded cynic like me can’t help but become cautiously optimistic seeing Lindsey Graham’s rhetoric — and even Susan Collins.

It's a perfect political slogan: concise and accurate and easy to remember.

Call it outrage fatigue, perhaps. Between that choreographed zombie apocalypse scene at the doors of the Supreme Court and the shrieking, menstrual-blood-throwing tantrum in the Senate chambers the country caught sight of something incredibly ugly, and whoever thought that was a good idea on the Dem side needs a good thrashing for sheer stupidity.

You know how Schumer remains in office in NY?

He makes a point of going to every district and listens to local issues. Then he does his damnedest to give them what they want.

Regardless what he does in broad terms, he wins over locals by listening to them and delivering for them.

Republicans should learn how to do this; win on local issues. But they won't and they don't.

If they did they would stay in power for years; like Schumer.

Bull. Schumer stays in office because the leftists of NYC out vote the rest of the state ... period.

Definitely. All of that. Ads don’t need to be long. Smarter to compare the two (jobs/mobs) in extremely short graphics and/or clips.

Congress must find the money to fund The Wall on our Southern border...if Obama and his administration could find this much money to fund an "enemy" then surely we can find enough to put up the wall POTUS promised.CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN

You're correct Democrats hold large voting blocks and Schumer wins hands down.

This is a party map of New York.

These are the red areas of the state Schumer wins:

Districs won by Schumer

Schumer wins in red rural farm districts because he goes to those districts, asks them what they need to keep their farms running (and other issues), and then he delivers.

Remember, all elections are local.

Schumer makes each election local by going to each district to see what they want and giving it to them. Milk production, for example is a big issue.

If Republicans started doing this they might learn how to pick up districts.

The statement wasn’t incorrect, it dealt with the House, not the Senate. I was speaking of Bonner and Ryan.
