Tillis just now released a commercial about his opponent's (sexting?) affair. I'm afraid Tillis might be making a mistake with this strategy. I'm wondering what Freepers think. Will this ad help him...or is it ill-advised?

That’s the same thought I had when I saw the headline.

This could allow Cunningham and the press to circle back and make him out to be the victim due to “attacks on his family.”

Best to open up another line of attack and leave this one to Cunningham and the press.

Cunningham wasn’t just having affairs, he was screwing the wife of a vet AND he prosecuted adulteries under the UCMJ.

So the angle is laws for others, but not for him.

The time to take the high road died with Kavannaugh hearings, if not long before.

If the D*#%*$@ts can use lies about sex to ruin people then Republicans SHOULD use the truth about an immoral candidate. Ruin the man’s life. Make D#$&*%@ts worry about their private life as Republicans have to.

What would the Democrats do? I think we all know and turnabout is fair play.

Unfortunately, Tillis is one of the biggest deep-state RINOs in the Senate.

But even more unfortunately, this election is literally for all the marbles. So yeah, hold your nose for the prick and all other Republicans.

Now that’s a huge piece of the puzzle that I didn’t know. So my question becomes... why didn’t I know that after I had seen the commercial? Maybe it’s a good strategy but a bad commercial.

He voted for every court candidate Trump presented.

Justify that

Illicit affairs, lying, deceit, and deception, are a badge of honor for any democrat and will likely boost his standing in the polls.

I know he did. That’s why I said we need to vote straight Republican no matter how slimy they are. Tillis though instead of a clothespin you’ll probably need a ventilator machine. He’s that RINO.

No need to be a Marquess of Queensberry doormat Republican. Do exactly what Democrats’ would do if the tables were turned: Smash the deadbeat Democrat into a million little pieces. He has fully earned it all.

Cal ruined his own life.
Maybe the tack to take is “If he lied to her, what do you think he will do to you?”

Interesting. All the more so because I haven’t been able to get a read on whether the race is leaning red or blue.
