Pretty sure he’s a nominal Republican.

An 84 year old guy marrying a 23 year old of *any* gender is,at best,a Colin Powell Republican...meaning a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Sad to say, but the best ad of the night was the Skittles spot in the first quarter. Otherwise:

Worst.

Super Bowl.

Commercials.

Ever.

There’s a door in the wall; clearly not the one on Mexico’s southern border.

Good to know, since I don’t watch football. I never will buy anything from 84 Lumber ever again.

84 Lumber is saying Fox made them edit the original ad. Says the ad was to show that immigrants would have to work hard to get here but would have to come through a door in the wall that Trump said would be there for them to come through.

Heads must be exploding at all of these sponsors because the Patriots won. How dare their owner say anything nice about the evil Trump!

I thought the Kia commercial with the “enviro-activist” was the best commercial of the night. Still had an eco-weenie message but it made my entire family laugh.

Yep, it takes more than 3 months to produce a Super Bowl ad, so these were all made with the assumption that Hillary would win. When Trump won, it was too late for them to do anything but edit them a bit


Bingo! Just like the TV series Homeland which assumed a Hillary victory and based their entire story line for season on it :(

I bet they have walls and fences around their lumber yards.

Ha! Good point!!! Next time I'm near one I'm going to check it out. Come to think of it, I remember going there one time when it was closed, and the fence was locked.

I’d like to see an ad that shows what happens when an American accidentally crosses the border into Mexico.
