I feel Youngkin should have pulled Trump in closer and had help campaign. I see this ad as negative.
I give some deference to the fact that you are VA and in the middle of today's events, but...
The ad was hilarious, and Trump probably thought the same thing.
The tilt of the ad is, 'President Trump is living rent-free in Fast Terry's head, meanwhile the concerns of real Virginians have gone ignored by Fast Terry's campaign'.
Not just ignored but a McAwful stance against parents rightful influence against what their children are being taught, in Virginia schools! Parents rightfully outraged at their children being sexually assaulted, in Virginia schools!
Those topical ads were already done, this ad was just a very clever 'closer'. Please don't ask me to explain what a 'closing' ad means in a political campaign, I just don't care to explain it and neither do you.
But let's get to your other point - what possible role could Trump have played in VA, other than to mobilize NoVA Libtard (womyn) voters?
Fast Terry has the stench of Bubba Blue Dress upon him, not to mention Fast Terry sanctioning Coonman's candidacy, and Fast Terry having also directly introduced Beater to Baby Parts Inc.!
You think Trump wanted to get in the way of that Democrat endgame of Polish Roulette? The man is truly a "very stable genius", his role on the periphery of this VaGov election is no accident.
