2. Because anyone putting out that ad would be sued and lose/settle?

ABC settled after Stephanopolis called him a rapist. Trump was found liable for sexual assault which is legally different than rape. So calling him a pedophile rapist would get whoever put out that ad sued into oblivion, and that's if anyone was willing to air it.

Going negative on Trump didn't work for Clinton and it didn't work for Harris. Nothing of what you've posted here about Trump being found guilty of sexual assault, of being an associate of Epstein, or stuff you didn't mention like the felony conviction, leading January 6th, being a bully etc has stuck to Trump in a way that has kneecapped his brand politically. Why would it work this time?

Have you not seen how fully in the tank most of our media is for Trump and his MAGA fascists? W_HAMILTON Sep 25 #3
