How Not to Make a Campaign Ad
Dilbert ^ | 5/5/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 05/05/2016 1:15:05 PM PDT by GilGil

The Clinton campaign came out with a new attack ad against Trump that features a number of Republicans trash-talking him. Let’s evaluate it for persuasiveness...

On an emotional level, I experienced a wave of pity for Clinton while watching the ad. I mean that literally. Her advisers seem blind to the tools of persuasion. Other people who were blind to Trump’s powers of persuasion include Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Carly Fiorina.

None of them will be your next president.

This Hillary ad is slow and clumsy just like Hillary. I saw an interview Anderson Copper did of Hillary and she started laughing like a mentally disturbed person. She is so rehearsed that she does not know who she is. She needs someone to spoon feed her all the time.

One thing that is 100% undeniable. Trump is trouncing Hillary in media accessibility. For every 1 media event she does Trump does 10. She already cannot keep up. Another area where he is trouncing her is in his superior executive skills.

It looks like his campaign organization has changed to hyper drive and his entire staff/team is rising to the occasion.

This speed and momentum is not something the democrats can compete with mainly because Hillary is not up to it. The Republican candidates were having trouble keeping up with Trump. Hillary is drowning in her own swamp.

This ad Scott Adams mentions is a reflection that Hillary is already starting to sink.

That list is right. Hillary puts herself on the losers’ side.

The Hag is fixing to come up against a fellow who has been organizing and leading people in complex projects his entire life. It's what he does - we're probably about to witness the apex of his organizational skills. I'm not sure how a bunch of slacker parasites are going to be able to compete with that.

This is basically a fight between the private sector (Trump) and the public sector (Hillary) to run the presidency.

I can tell you who will win.

She did a follow up ad. It features lots of clips of Trump himself...talking about banning muslims and building a wall.

IOW, she just aired a free ad for Trump.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t make him any more likeable.

The likeability issue won’t be an issue in a few months.

It doesn’t make her any more likable either and that is going to be a problem for her.

Well, right now, he’s far more unlikable than she is (although that is pretty hard to accomplish).

You would think that a candidate with one foot on a banana peel and the other on the threshold of a federal prison cell would be a little more cautious about casting aspersions.....

The more most people hear Hillary, the more they dislike her.

People are now starting to forget about this who issue of being “likability”.

More importantly, the Hag is fixing to come up against a fellow who isn’t awed by, or afraid of, her.

That, I think, will make all the difference in the world.

Stuff like this could very well change things:

That is most likely a media meme that Trump is soooo unlikeable.

His primary run was riddled with faulsehoods about Trump. similarly we will see soon enough what is truth and fiction shortly.

Would not be surprised if Trump won in a landlslide.

While he has other skills, I think his organizational skills are his unnoticed secret weapon. People seem not to believe that someone with his bombastic personalty could be good at creating a complex organization for a complex task.

She thinks she has it in the bag and is untouchable. That is where Hillary is setting herself up for a beating she will never recover from.

I only watched the Apprentice the first season, but it was easy to see The Don has the right stuff when it comes to running a business.

How about the falsehoods Trump trumpeted about every other candidate? That didn’t win him any friends.
