Trump Ad: Are you better off than 4 years ago
Crime is not a big issue this election. No need to continuously run on it.
The normies don’t see it as a major problem.

RE: Trump Ad: Are you better off than 4 years ago
I am.
Economy is not shattered.
Crime is down.
Illegal immigration is down...there was a bill to address the border that trump had killed so he could take credit if he got elected.
America is already the greatest country. Sad that the GOP has become the party that no longer champions America.

The economy and the border are. Both are featured prominently in that ad.

It really is a simple question. The answer is obvious. All one needs to do is go to their local grocery store.

You're a tax collector IIRC.

Yes I agree with those. But if you look at the polling, actual crime isn’t a major concern of the voters

You obviously never go to the grocery store or buy gas.
Crime is down.
Crime is down only because so many jurisdictions stopped reporting it.
Illegal immigration is down...there was a bill to address the border that trump had killed so he could take credit if we got elected.
Immigration is down only from the insane levels you idiots allowed in to start with, and only b/c you knew it would be a big election issue.
And that bill you're touting would have still allowed in thousands of illegal immigrants a day. No Republican is voting for that.
America is already the greatest country. Sad that the GOP has become the party that no longer champions America.
America has gone to hell in a hand basket the past 3 1/2 years, and if you clowns run it for 4 more years, it will be destroyed.
FIFY

The economy is in a downward trajectory. Full times are being overtaken by gigs and part time work. Some of that is because retired boomers are still working because they can’t rely on a fixed income with high prices.
Illegal immigration has been a disaster and was neglected for the first three years under Biden.
America was also great under Trump, but you never said that once.
The modern day GOP has many different factions. The platform has drastically changed since Trump. Less government control, less quagmires, and listening to the actual voters is a step in the right direction than corporate elites running both parties.

RE: Trump Ad: Are you better off than 4 years ago
Yup, I am.
401k is highest it's ever been. House I bought in 2019 has shot up 150% in value. All my debt is to myself, got engaged, got promoted.
Around me, the city is growing, houses are being built, roads are being widened, bridges replaced / repaired, companies are moving in and expanding...
Best of all, college football is so close it's practically here. Life is pretty ok.

Is that an internet ad or is it on the air waves.
Internet ads tend to reach the people who already support you. Hit a wider audience.

RE: Trump Ad: Are you better off than 4 years ago
Of course we are better off than we were 4 years ago. Four years ago, the worldwide economy was shut down & a half of a million Americans had died from Covid, while our incompetent President was conducting off the cuff news conferences talking up unproven anecdotes like Hydroxychloroquine & bleach injections. Its a stupid question & one that’s easily refuted.
And for the significant slice of voters who are ready to move past Trump & Biden, this message simply reminds them why they’re ready to move on.

How about first time homebuyers? Sucks for then right? They can’t afford a decent home
It costs the average family 12k more just to live the same way they did 4 years ago. Sucks for them I guess from your point of view

RE: Trump Ad: Are you better off than 4 years ago
Honestly, I am better off now than 4 years ago. Part of that is due to Covid not being a "thing". Part of that is due to a house I bought in 2014 that most people can't afford to buy today. Part of it is due to my ESOP shares. Most Americans aren't in my situation though, especially young people, lower middle class and those on fixed incomes.

This is where I'm at, and that is perfectly ok to acknowledge. As long as we remember it is a privilege.

Yeah, if you're myopic and incapable of understanding how any inflation is what it is.
Inflation in the G7. I see a pattern...with one odd outlier...
