What took them so long? I kid, I kid
Practically everyone who watched this jaw-dropping CNN segment from Saturday night ridiculing Donald Trump supporters knew it would get made into an ad. The RNC just needed enough time to string together a few more contributions from leading Democrats to make it into a compelling theme.
Behold the new GOP ad, They Think Youre a Joke. Fact check: Devastatingly true.
RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel has already rolled it out as a fundraiser, the Daily Wire reported last night:
CNN anchor Don Lemon, The New York Times Wajahat Ali and winless carnival barker and scam PAC artist Rick Wilson let everyday Americans know what the establishment thinks about them: President Trumps supporters are just a bunch of illiterate idiots deserving of the elites smug derision, RNC Spokesman Steve Guest told The Daily Wire in a statement. In a matter of seconds, CNN summed up the elite lefts disdain for half of America.
Guest added, Reminder for voters: As Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders campaign across the South for your vote, Lemon, Ali, and Wilson just summarized what these candidates really think of you as they shake your hand and pose for selfies.
In an email to voters, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said that she was absolutely disgusted by the segment, which was viewed well over ten million times on Twitter in under 24 hours.
The other night on CNN, Don Lemon and his liberal friends laid their cards on the table and made it obvious what ELITES think of everyday Americans who support President Trump, McDaniel said in the fundraising email. These radical hacks painted conservative voters as illiterate hillbillies on national television because they DESPISE President Trump and they DESPISE you.
The inclusion of Hillary Clintons basket of deplorables was a no-brainer, but the RNC did a good job of finding more recent examples from this years field, too. Both Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden call Trump supporters racists, while on the competing progressive network, Chris Matthews also suggests theyre idiots. The RNC isnt exaggerating this point; if anything they might be understating it.
Get ready for more iterations on this theme, because these claims will only get more and more prevalent as we get closer to November. The Democratic convention in July will likely have their video editors busy for weeks cutting new versions of this ad. By that time, the fact that both Democrats and the media havent learned that calling people idiots and racists isnt an effective selling point will be revealing enough about the true issues of mental capacity in this market.

The Leftist activist hatred for us cannot be contained. It’s nice to see their honesty and it works quite well for GOTV and fundraising efforts.

Truth be known the elites in the GOP don’t think much of us Trump supporters either. To them we are ignorant voters to be exploited, manipulated and conned every election cycle. If they truly respected us they would make more of an effort to support the president and advance the conservative agenda.

That is a powerful ad! No commentary, just the Left taking their mask off, saying what they truly believe!
I loved the end of this ad:
[Black screen] They think you're a joke. Prove them wrong in November.

Back when I first left home for college in the fall of 1974, I attended both Young Democrat and College Republican meetings to decide which one I was. Also, I thought it would be fun as part of my job for the college newspaper.
The girls at the YDs seemed perpetually angry and were nowhere near as cute as those at the CRs, though I got the distinct impression that I could get away with a lot more if I dated them.
The CRs ran a very entertaining ad prototype on prominent Democrat look alikes yucking it up about how stupid their voters were. The Ted Kennedy doppelganger was particularly hilarious. Too bad the GOP did not have the guts to actually run that ad in the fall. It might not have been such a blow-out. There was a major ring of truth to the ad which reached me even as a political novice.
Millions of Indochinese paid with their lives for the Democrat landslide that year. And, no, I decided not to date any YDs. The possible thrill of getting a little you know what was more than offset by my danger radar even at that young age.

And yet the most demonstrably uneducated voting bloc in this country, the one most heavily impacted by past insane trade policy and unfettered immigration both legal and illegal, has historically voted for Democrats in excess of 90%. The snide Mr. Lemon belongs to this group, but hes so caught up in the social whirl of the very white Hamptons and so busy sexually accosting white guys in bars that I guess hes convinced himself that hes so much better than that.

I take it as somewhat of an indicator that my formerly boastful Democrat acquaintances have been silent about politics for months now. Even during this bogus “impeachment.” I think they’ve started finally paying attention to how wacked-out people like Pelosi are, and don’t want to identify with them.

That because the elites of both parties live the bubbles of the coasts and Washington. They have know idea of what and who we are .

Great point! I’ve noticed the same!
Where I work, the only people who are fired up are Trump supporters! Even with their impeachment and now trial, Dems and other assorted Leftists are more miserable than ever! LOL!
