Harris launches massive Project 2025 ad to troll Trump in Mar-a-Lago district – her only spending in Florida

Makes him crazy!

I also approve this message. Don just approved of a massage

Can we (both parties) stick to the urgent issues please.

Before folks get concerned that the Harris campaign is going to be blowing a lot of their budget on a long shot state, the article suggests that the campaign will spend in the range of $50,000 on these ads.

Of the $370 million they’ll be spending nationwide during this blitz.

That works out to somewhere in the range of 0.013% – less than a drop in the bucket.

And if it provokes some foolish responses from Trump, it could be money well spent.

The middle class is almost always better off with a democratic president:

No other candidate in the history is probably stupid enough to fall for such a tactic. Republicans should feel ashamed to their core that they have nominated Trump to their ticket.

I wish we would make at least a *small play* for Florida and Texas. I get the strategy behind targeting the states that are within the margin of error, but it just feels like we’re conceding these huge states that have winnable races within them (Ted Cruz is beatable, Rick Scott is beatable).

Really,only?

Harris is trolling him so much and I love it. She is trying to rattle him before the debate.

You mean besides the 50 stop bus tour she’s starting in Florida soon?

The Harris Campaign either thinks Florida is in play or want Trump to think they do. Either way, she’s definitely putting more effort into Florida than Biden did.

I think this is good. A little money to get under his skin will cause him to make even more than his usual amount of mistakes.

Harris winning Florida would be an instant checkmate against Trump/Vance’s presidential run. But I don’t expect her to have a strong chance. I hope I’m wrong and it at least becomes more of a purple state again. If Harris won, that would be so awesome. She’s up with Hispanics compared to Biden but Trump way over performed in areas like Miami in 2020. He’d need to really lose a lot of support because he’s still insanely popular in most of the state.

Florida isn’t “deep red”; it’s a petty dictatorship that [unconstitutionally blocks over a million of its own citizens from voting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_disenfranchisement_in_Florida). Stop the voter suppression and Florida is blue, or at least dark purple.
