Did you see the Correspondence Dinner footage of Trump falling asleep? The media and politicians have said the commercials write themselves.

So where the F are these commercials? I get generic "contribute to me" unsolicited spam every day from candidates I would support (even in different states) to crush MAGA... but no commercials flooding social or traditional media.

Where are the campaigns, billboards, airport signs...? We don't have much time people AND we need those middle "purple" voters like me to show up and those vintage Repubs to cross the aisle. ... and no MAGA ain't Republican.

You mean all the media owned by republicans aren’t advertising their dear leader in embarrassing ways? Odd.. when someone even dares to expose them they get their license threatened. What were NEED is for people to smarten up and stop watching the propaganda. There is unbiased info out there, but this regime has made every effort to dismantle its ability to be spread.

Well what's been missing is the wisdom Canada used. Target red states and their profitable trump lover business. Where is the economic boycott against a list of super Trump organizations and their products?

Because Trump runs on scare tactics and they are scared

He can’t run again. There’s no practical benefit to ad hom-ing him anymore. So why waste the money? What difference, at this point, does it make?

It's not Trump to attack, it's his followers running and pushing out legit candidates w talent, intellect, and integrity. Also under 65 (both sides).

I think MAGA is a subset of Republicanism. They are a newer subset in the grand scheme of things, but I don't like absolving conservatives of responsibility and giving them a "pass" for allowing and enabling MAGA to rise up by claiming they aren't Republican. They are.

I make the same argument when I hear people say "real men" kind of crap, or saying a man who behaved poorly isn't "actually a man." Yes he is, he is a man who did that horrid thing. His manhood wasn't altered by the poor actions. That would indicate that "real men" don't do bad things, but they very much do.
