Discussion: Is This The Most Bizarre Ad Of The 2016 Race So Far? (VIDEO)

Note to campaign manager: As a general rule, an attack ad that makes voters throw up is not going to make voters hate your opponent. It will make them just think your guy so disgusting that the voter will repeat the throwing up episode in the voting booth at the thought of voting for your guy.

It is like getting sick and puking. You shy away from the last food you ate or the restaurant you ate at for a long time afterwards because you associate the throwing up with whatever happened immediately before.

It is a pretty good bet that when you have so many assholes calling every one of their opponents liars and assholes, they are all correct.

Maybe the ā€œdemon sheepā€ ad would have not cratered so badly if it was a creation of some campaign other than Carly Fiorina’s.

Definitely a severe handicap during awards season.

Anybody have a guess at why they used a woman’s voice for the video? (then a man’s for the responsibility statement at the end?

Ted’s been wrap-around schlonged, a first.

Matt… I looked at it for ya… I’ve seen worse… Most any clip of trump attempting to speak is worse. Not typical of something Kasich would approve of…Trump on the other hand…

Well, shoot, there’s certainly nothing wrong with enjoying a thing that’s so bad it’s good. I’m big on that as well. But I do video production myself and you get both producers and clients out there who want something that’ll get talked about, they don’t want the same old boring thing, yadda yadda. They sometimes emphasize that to the point they forget that you probably should try to do the client some practical good in the end. And the thing is you can make weird stuff no problem if you have a weird streak, you can make stuff that will get talked about, but if the piece doesn’t accomplish the effect you want it’s wasted effort.

Trump’s campaign to restore the dignity of the office of the President marches ahead with new innovative approaches every day!

O but just think what could have been if the Secret Service hadn’t said they couldn’t bring their guns. I was really looking forward to the shootouts.

You ain’t seen ā€˜nuttin yet!
Wait until the campaign really gets going in June, and after the conventions are over all bets are off.
If Trump wins the nomination I expect to see ads calling Hillary an ā€œUgly Communist Bitchā€.
If Cruz wins the nomination I expect to see ads with a 6’ 2" Red Headed Jesus Christ personally endorsing Ted while cradling an M-16 and calling for ā€œSoldiers of Christā€ to vote for him and against the ā€œMooslim demon Hillaryā€.
It’s going to get very, very ugly out there with over $1 Billion in Reich-Wing cash looking for something to be spent on.

Not a wasted effort if you get paid for it. (The GOP gold standard.)

Why does this suggest autoerotic asphyxiation to me? Perhaps it’s because Cruz gets off on lying so much. He’s a pervy Pinocchio.

Gross. Its gotten so bad I can’t even read or watch the fucking news anymore. Just give me an old copy of Kai’s Power Goo for my mac and watch me go to work…

I saw that those guns that look like cell phones will be available in June (double-barreled, no less)**. I’ll bet they will be on back order for some conventioneers.

Well, true. But call me old fashioned, I like to see the client get something out of it too. Especially when that comes back as repeat business and referrals. Enlightened self-interest and all that. : )

I’m so very disappointed that Davis didn’t go the obvious route of having the nose snake down Ted’s trousers and out the fly.
