IF YOU STILL NEED A
DEMONSTRATION OF HOW CONTENT
FREE AND TRUMP WORSHIP FOCUSED
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME
OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS AD, THE LATEST AD
FROM A REPUBLICAN SENATE
PRIMARY CANDIDATE.
>> I'M TODD ROKITA, AND
HERE'S THE TRUTH?
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BEAT JOE
DONNELLY WITH A RHINO.
MIKE BRAUN, HE'S A LIFELONG
DEMOCRAT.
HE VOTED FOR OBAMA OR HILLARY.
WOW.
AND LUKE MESSER, HE PLOTTED WITH
THE NEVER TRUMPERS TO STEAL THE
NOMINATION FROM PRES.
TRUMP.
YOU
GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
I'M TODD
ROKITA.
I'LL PROUDLY STAND WITH THE
PRESIDENT AND MIKE PENCE TO
DRAIN THE SWAMP.
I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.
>> LET ME LIST ALL THE REASONS
WHY I LOVE THAT.
WHEN HE WENT BACK AND PULLED THE
MAGA HAT OF HIS ASS, THAT WAS
DEFINITELY THE TOP
MOMENT FOR ME.
HE VOTED FOR HILLARY OR OBAMA.
WHICH ONE?
THAT WAS WEIRD.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE
MEANS BY THAT.
NOW I WILL DO AN IRONIC
DEFENSE OF THE GUY.
I GET HIM SAYING I AM THE REAL
REPUBLICAN, THAT IS FAIR
WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
THERE IS THE CONVERSATION OF WHO
WERE THE REAL PROGRESSIVES AND
WHO ARE THE FAKE ONES.
THE PART THAT JOHN IS RIGHT
ABOUT, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THEY
ALL AGREE ON ALL POSITIONS.
THERE IS NO ACTUAL POLICY
DIFFERENCES IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY, SO FOR HIM TO SAY I AM
THE MAGA DUDE- I GUESS THIS IS
ANOTHER IRONIC DEFENSE OF HIM.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TRUMPS
POLICY POSITIONS ARE GOING TO
BE.
THEN YOUR OPPONENT IS
GOING TO DO AN AD.
>> YEAH, I GET THAT HE
NEEDS TO DO THIS.
THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST
EFFECTIVE AD THAT HE CAN RUN
RIGHT NOW BUT IT IS SAD.
I'M NOT JUST CRITICIZING HIM,
I'M CRITICIZING THE PEOPLE ABOVE
HIM, TRUMP, AND THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE GOING TO VOTE BASED ON ñ
HE SAYS I AM THE REAL
REPUBLICAN.
THE ONLY DEMONSTRATION IS
THAT HE OWNS A HAT.
I CAN BUY A HAT, DO I GET TO BE
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
SENATE?
HE DID NOT LIST A SINGLE
POLICY DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIM
AND THE DEMOCRATS.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM
OTHER THAN HE OWNS A HAT.
HE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF
THE SUBTLE THINGS.
MY FAVORITE WAS, HE SAYS I'M
GOING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH AND
IT SAYS THE TRUTH BUT IT HAS A
QUESTION MARK.
>> I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT,
THAT IS AWESOME.
>> CAN WE JUST REPLAY THE VERY
BEGINNING?
HOW DID THAT GET
THROUGH?
>>YEAH, IT IS A QUESTION MARK.
THAT IS AWESOME.
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, MAYBE?
AND HE VOTED FOR HILLARY
OR OBAMA?
>> BOB CORKER WHO YOU REFERENCE
MENTIONED THIS TRIBALISM THAT IT
IS ALL ABOUT I AM A PART OF THE
LEADER, HE SAID THE FOLLOWING.
THAT IS TRUE.
REPUBLICANS, THAT IS ALL THAT.
BUT BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT
BECAUSE IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE
FOLLOW SPORTS TEAMS, EVERY
PLAYER CAN CHANGE.
WE GET ATTACHED TO THESE THINGS
AND WITH POLITICS IT IS NOT
SPORTS, IT IS IMPORTANT SO
DON'T DO THAT.
JUST TO DRIVE HOME THE
CONTENT FREE THING.
THAT WAS THE AD, NO POLICIES
WHATSOEVER.
THIS WAS THEIR MESSAGING.
SO WHEN THEIR PRESS RELEASE THEY
STRESS HE IS WEARING A HAT.
>> IS ALMOST LITERALLY SAYING
DON'T WORRY I WILL BOW MY HEAD
TO THE AUTHORITARIAN LEADER.
IS SAD TO BE A CONSERVATIVE.
HERE IS THE HUGE DIFFERENCE SO
BERNIE SANDERS WHY DO
PROGRESSIVES LIKE HIM.
IT'S NOT THE WAY HE COMES HIS
HAIR OR BECAUSE HE HATES THE
SAME PEOPLE WE HATE.
IT IS BASED ON HIS POLICY
POSITIONS.
TRUMP ON THE OTHER HAND CHANGES
HIS POLICY POSITIONS ALMOST
EVERY DAY.
IT MAKES NO SENSE.
