We now know exactly how Donald Trump is going to try to get reelected
CNN Politics ^ | October 31, 2019 | Chris Cillizza, Editor-at-large

Posted on 10/31/2019 6:49:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

During Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump's campaign launched a seven-figure national ad buy -- a 30-second commercial touting his first-term accomplishments on terrorism, the economy and immigration.

But the real key to the ad -- and the bit that you need to pay very close attention to -- comes in the final moments of the commercial, when the narrator says this:

"He's no Mr. Nice Guy. But sometimes it takes a Donald Trump to change Washington."

Those two sentences are hugely telling when it comes to understanding how Trump (and his campaign) are going to position him in the race for a second term next November.

What's clear from that tag line -- "no Mr. Nice Guy ... sometimes you need a Donald Trump" -- is that the campaign understands how poorly the President is perceived on a bevy of personality traits. He's not seen as friendly. Or kind. Or empathetic. Or even really, someone you'd want to spend a bunch of time around.

This ad tries to turn those traits on their head. Rather than being regarded as a negative for Trump, his campaign is trying to argue that in order to fix a place as broken as Washington, you need someone who doesn't care about whether you like him. Or whether anyone likes him. Who only cares about results.

In a bumper sticker, the campaign messaging that this ad appears to preview goes like this: Yes, he's a jerk. But he's a jerk who gets results!

Barack Obama wasn’t friendly. He was a trash talking Marxist bastard lovechild who spoke more harshly about Republicans than Islamic terrorists or Communists.

Cillizza is perfect for CNN. He’s just the idiot they need representing them.

President Trump will be re elected because he is doing what both Democrats and Republicans have told us is the impossible - turning the American economy around, getting control of illegal immigration , becoming energy independent and bringing manufacturing back to America

That “no mr. nice guy” kind of works with his rally theme,

“You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need”

Well he can't possibly compete for warm and cuddly with the race-faker, hectoring school marm.

Remember all those ninny-nannies who kept saying Trump should lay off the tweets and tone down the insults?

Some advice is best not followed.

Exactly.

Donald Trump is Batman. He’s a billionaire who had to become a nightmare to evil D. C. to save the little people.

You had better send that pic to the NY Slimes for analysis to see if it is real or a Photoshop.

When I consider all of Trumps bad qualities, what does it say for me that I like him?

For three years the left has been chanting “orange man bad!” And now they’re going to clutch at their pearls when that campaign could include the slogan “vote for the bad orange man.”
