Democratic group plans $140 million voter testimonial onslaught against Donald Trump
The Washington Post ^ | Jan 12, 2024 | Michael Scherer

Democrats began the search last summer, fanning out through the northern swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to find the nurses, electricians, farmers and floor installers who could best testify to the danger of Donald Trump returning to power.

The previously unreported project by the outside group American Bridge 21st Century developed 732 leads, conducted 472 interviews and then filmed about 50 voters who will anchor a $140 million ad campaign starting this spring, aimed at reminding women and working-class voters why they voted against Trump in 2020, according to the group’s leaders.

“The hardest part about using the most powerful messengers in politics, which are real people from these communities, is finding them,” said Bradley Beychok, co-founder of American Bridge.

The planned ad campaign will expand upon a smaller effort American Bridge launched in 2020 to turn working-class voters in the same states against Trump. This time, with the tacit support of the White House and President Biden’s team, the focus will narrow somewhat to working-class female voters in those states, with the possibility of expanding into North Carolina later, Beychok said.

These ads will use AI to target & trigger women’s emotions.

Be prepared to see many ads on Trump taking away their right to abortion.

It's effective.

“These ads will use AI to target & trigger women’s emotions. You can persuade them to kill their kids.”

These ads will use AI to target & trigger single women’s emotions. You can persuade them to trans their kids.

Sorry for the correction, but Joe wants to sniff them, which is hard to do if they’re dead in the ground.

If that worked he’d be up much more in the polls than he is. He wouldn’t be trying to relentlessly distract us with UKR, racism, wokeism and all the other victimology’s away from his disaster economy, and unless they use that $140M to buy some damn groceries for some of these Americans, it is not going to work.

Joe isn’t in charge of his crappy policies. His handlers are trying to get him reelected in spite of them.

And beat rolls on.

Is there a conservative group with this kind of cash donated to them from the base like the Dems got from theirs to run testimonials on how much better Donald Trump’s polices were and how it effected their lives, and / or how Biden’s policies have harmed them to match this onslaught dollar for dollar to provide a competing narrative?

No, of course not.

It worked in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 - superior organization, marketing, and funding. It will work again if our side doesn’t get its act together to match them dollar for dollar to counter these messages.

Because abortion is all the rats have, as you can see they can’t campaign on the real issues

Trump should play that game right back. The truth is on his side.

I smell big lawsuits from the Trump Team. These testimonial are not like those by such products as Balance of Nature. They will appeal to the emotions, which are not based on factual truth. I might say that Balance of Nature treads in that area too. The B of N testimonials keep clear of false claims when they say one feels good after taking it. How the anti-Trump testimonials go, I can see them treading over the line into false accusations, which are criminal, leading to jail sentences and defamation lawsuits.

The WSJ does a hit piece on Donald Trump every single day. They do balance it though with a glowing piece on Nikki Haley. Yesterday’s WSJ’s two minute of Trump-hate was delivered by John Bolton.

I suspect I know where American Bridge is spending some of their money. This is too much of a coincidence.

A new feature in the WSJ beginning today:

“What the Data Says About Republicans Who Won’t Vote for Trump”

“Donald Trump may have won Iowa and New Hampshire, but nearly half of Republican voters there cast ballots for someone else. And many say they wouldn’t vote for Trump in November, either. Who are these Republicans?”
