An ad from Lucas Kunce’s (D) U.S Senate campaign:

[A message from Jon Hamm, born and raised in Missouri.]

Manhood.

You’d hope that means courage.

Courage isn’t something you can give speeches
or write a book about.

It’s not sitting on the sidelines while others sacrifice,
or denying help to those who did.

It isn’t putting people down or trying to control them,
or using your own power for profit or ambition.

In Missouri, you can’t fake courage.

We’re the Show-Me State.

Courage is something you have to show us.

It shows in the working class people that pitch in
to help the family next door bankrupted by medical bills.

It shows in the Marine who signed up to honor
and serve the community that took care of him.

It shows when a Missourian stands up to the powerful.
When he fights to rebuild his state.

To empower people, to secure our future.

If you want to be told about manhood,
some guy wrote a book about it.

But if you want someone to show you courage,
send Lucas Kunce to the Senate.

Well, Josh (r)?

Just asking.

Eric Greitens (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
We are sick and tired of the Republicans in Name Only surrendering to Joe Biden & the radical Left.

Order your RINO Hunting Permit today!

Some of the responses:

Oooh so tough!

Not a good ad.

Threatening others’ lives while cosplay the hero.

Sick.

This is disgusting. I’m sure it will appeal to the knuckle scrapers who would vote for you.

You’re a seditionist promoting more violence against your political enemies, all so you can regain the personal power you pissed away.

Ambition over America is a shit cause, Eric.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Plenty.

You are one sick son of a bitch

Just openly threatening people now, aren’t ya?

Cool commercial, dingus. Kinda heavy on policy though. May wanna dumb it down a little for folks who aren’t interested in the wonky minutiae of federal legislation and the machinations of the law with respect to the historical interpretations and implications of the constitution

Are you guys training with the Uvalde police? They also liked to dress up like that

Do you tie them up before shooting them or is that just reserved for the women you’re having affairs with?

Oh my god what is wrong with you?

Seee above.

You think this is normal?

Really going for the 1930s Germany look there, aren’t you?

Irony, too, apparently?

In a world where we’ve lost so much as nation, you’re sick certifiably, sick

What, and I emphasize, the fuck?!

This is deeply embarrassing, like this is pandering to the dumbest voter imaginable. The people responding positively to this already live in hell, they just need to be entertained.

Big jump from duct taping women.

Not really.

So you are encouraging murder because of a difference of political beliefs?

Demonizing and dehumanizing your political opponents is an old trick of totalitarian regimes

The only way I’m watching this is if you tie me up with duct tape and force me against my will

And on and on….

Campaign supplies.

From Lucas Kunce‘s (D) ad released today:

“…The community I love had been hollowed out, jobs shipped away for Wall Street profits. The wealth of our state sucked dry by guys like Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt, and their top donors who got rich stripping our communities for parts…”

Dayam. This campaign came to play.

Today, from Lucas Kunce (D):

On an old cracked street in Jeff City, Missouri sits a forgotten house. A place I used to call home, full of memories, good times, and tough times.

Growing up, my family struggled. My sister was born with a heart condition. The hospital bills kept coming and my parents eventually went bankrupt.

But then, our neighbors and friends lifted us up. They gave me the chance to make something of myself.

So I did. I went to Yale and became a U.S. Marine to honor those who had given me so much.

But every time I came home, from Iraq and then Afghanistan, things had changed. The community I love had been hollowed out, jobs shipped away for Wall Street profits. The wealth of our state sucked dry by guys like Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt, and their top donors who got rich stripping our communities for parts.

The house I called home sits empty now, but Missouri is still standing. It’s time to Marshall Plan the Midwest. Fight to invest right here in the heartland where we’ve been making things for generations.

We’ll replace the broken system that divides us, break the grip of corporate power, join together black, white and brown,
young and old.

This is where we build our future, on the cracked streets, in the forgotten neighborhoods.

[Lucas Kunce]

This campaign ain’t playing around. They’re good. Lucas Kunce (D).

Secretary of State: Yinka Faleti (D) ad

Yinka Faleti (D), the Democratic Party nominee for Secretary of State, has started running ads in the Kansas City media market:

I swore an oath to defend our constitution. West Point. Two tours in Kuwait. After 9/11, a Battle Captain in Operation Enduring Freedom.

My name is Yinka Faleti and now I’m asking to defend our constitution again, as your Secretary of State.

See, Jay Ashcroft’s making it harder to vote, even during this pandemic. Opposing same-day registration, early voting, even mail-in voting.

Our democracy is only as strong as our right to vote. We have to defend it.

Exactly.

Descent

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) [2020 file photo].

An ad released by the Democratic National Committee:

Narrator: Five years ago Donald Trump descended to the basement of Trump Tower. For the last five years he’s brought America down with him, attacking health care for patients with pre-existing conditions, giving massive tax cuts to billionaires, not working families, praising white supremacists, stoking racial division, a White House in chaos, losing 300,000 jobs in a failed trade war with China, locking children in cages. He ignored science on Coronavirus and mislead the American people, stating it “would miraculously go away.” It didn’t. Now, over 100,000 dead Americans, 20 million jobs destroyed, recession.

Donald Trump: No, I don’t take responsibility at all.

Narrator: He shredded our alliances. And turned our military on American citizens.

You have the power to end the descent of our nation, to choose justice, unity, leadership.

Because we can’t afford four more years of Trump.

Joe Biden: I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.

Yep.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

The Missouri presidential preference primary is on Tuesday, March 10th.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D) [2019 file photo].

The campaign fundraising is going well.

I’m Mike Bloomberg, Mike Bloomberg, Bloomberg.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D): You probably seen more ads from Michael Bloomberg than the rest of us running for president put together. Big money is powerful but it doesn’t always win.

I know that firsthand. When I ran against an incumbent Republican to take a US Senate seat away from Mitch McConnell, Bloomberg endorsed the Republican and he raised big money for him.

But I beat him anyway.

I’m Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message because I believe our democracy should work for you, not the billionaires.

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign raised $29 million in February. She’s in it for the long haul.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D): Iowa bus tour campaign ad

Senator Kamala Harris’ (D) presidential campaign has released a new ad commemorating her August Iowa bus tour.

And there I am, ever so briefly, twenty-two seconds into the ad:

The ad:

One of the greatest strengths about who we are as a people is in our core, in our heart, we know we all have so much more in common than what’s…

Senator Harris is kicking off a five-day bus tour… [….] I love being in Iowa. You have made me a better candidate…

Today California Senator Kamala Harris will be making a stop right here in Sioux City.

It is the conversations that we’ve been having that have really given me a lot of perspective on some of the biggest issues that are facing us as a country.

There are two groups of people raising our children. Parents, often with the assistance of grandparents and aunts and uncles, and our teachers but we are not paying them their value.

[….]

If we have faith to see what can be, unburdened by what has been, we move mountains.

Let’s have a problem-solving president, let’s deal with the issues that are challenging us, and let’s write the next chapter about the America we believe in.

This campaign is about all of us. It is so much bigger than me. I cannot do this without you. I need you. Everything that you guys are doing out there that is about touching your neighbors and your friends and perfect strangers, it’s about all of us knowing our power, each of us to lift people up, right, and to remind them that we see them and we hear them and that they matter.

Senator Kamala Harris (D) – West Des Moines, Iowa – August 10, 2019.
