The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a blistering ad Friday that calls into question Joe Biden’s fitness to lead America over the next four years.
A pair of those making comments in the video are prominent Democrats, making it even more stinging.
The ad, appropriately titled “Joe Biden: Unfit To Lead,” takes aim at the presumptive Democrat nominee’s penchant for incoherence and features clips of New Jersey Senator Cory Booker (D) and former senior adviser to Barack Obama, David Axelrod.
“There’s a lot of people who are concerned about Joe Biden,” Booker says in between shots of Biden saying “um” more times than a perplexed AOC.
Axelrod chimed in stating, “He kind of bumps along … kind of Mr. Magooing his way through this.”
Word Salad
Fox News anchor Bret Baier is also in the video, clearly flabbergasted by a Biden debate performance, saying “There were some answers Shannon, that were word salad … I mean they were just all over the map!”

too early
poorly done ad. they just repeat the same couple seconds of biden confusion. If they wanted to make it with any of the many clips of him confused or forgetful THAT would play better then just the same one instance repeated .
Good idea, poor content.
I think the majority of people who would vote for Biden already know that they’re really voting for his running mate because he won’t be in office long, so not sure who this ad will deter
It is that segment--the center of the bell curve--that ultimately elects a president.
This is just one ad. A good campaign runs certain ads at certain times and for certain reasons.
Think of this as the first shot. It’s not intended to be a “kill shot”. That needs to come later. Keep him in the race until it’s too late to replace him. and too late to present a solid response from his campaign.
People are early voting
The middle, and the democrats that actually have a hard time with choosing him.
Elections are won in three places.
1. getting your base out.
2. Discouraging the other side’s base.
3. The middle.
This ad is mainly for number 3 and somewhat for number 2. REmember, there are a LOT in the middle that get a steady diet of MSM and really do tend to lean toward the “orange man bad” philosophy even if they don’t have TDS. It’s important to show those people not that Trump is good, but that Biden is worse. And I expect some “Are you voting for the vice presidential nominee? Seriously? What kind of party does that?” Ads toward the end.
I just don’t know if this ad gets their votes. I think the undecideds already know Biden wouldn’t last 4 yrs in office & are waiting to hear who is running mate will be.
Better to argue the difference in political stance and show Joe’s lies from the past. Republicans will have to go hard at his VP pick.
It’s not hard enough. The guy Is physically beat up also. He’s limping has arthritis and worse of all small hands. Not to mention the two strokes . We need some medical reports.
I don’t think this is an election like the past & we can’t rely on how people used to vote. Traditionally, people don’t vote for VP...but they will this year if Biden makes it to Nov.
This ad imo is not so much to get voters to switch, it is too late for that but is intended to sway undecideds or get those leaning towards Biden to stay home.

“but is intended to sway undecideds or get those leaning towards Biden to stay home.”
Possibly. It will depend on who Biden’s runningmate is
I am certain they will hit Slo Joe on all his weaknesses, from dementia to positions to history.
This was a gentle shot across the bow—don’t want to terrify the DNC too early... ;-)
You are right about the running mate problem. If Joe picks a formidable candidate, it’s going to be a tough fight.
Not for nothing but Trump will have to win despite the RNC. The organization is still Bush league and anything they do on “behalf” of Trump will be suspect.
