    Her first ad about the border was awesome, but didn’t mention that Trump twice killed the border bill. I would run a version that includes that fact.

    Like, maybe R generally handles the border more the way that Fox News viewers want, but making it clear that this particular R is responsible for nixing the changes they’ve wanted for the past year can be impactful.

  2. Should be a single 10-second ad with the clip of Trump saying “you’ll be thrown into a system where everybody gets healthcare” followed by the standard “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message”.

    That’s it.

  3. Honestly, this is an amazing move. Trolling Fox News by airing your own ads calling them out.

    Is Fox News legally obliged to accept payment for and air her ads? Seems to me it would be against their own interests…

  5. We can almost guess what time he’s watching his favorite shows due to his posts and their content. If she could advertise during those times, that would be perfect.

  6. If I have to hear about illegals invading Ohio every time I want to watch sports highlights on YouTube, they can deal with this.

  7. Good!

    Plus, that business really needs the money. They have an almost $800 million dollar settlement they need to take care of for defamation of Dominion.

    And that’s not the last of the lawsuits. Smartmatic is suing them for 2.7 billion for doing the same thing they did to dominion.

    If it’s a prolonged blitz, it might have surprising results. The fox news sheep usually respond to whatever repetive message they hear the most.

  8. Excellent idea on multiple levels:

    1. It will serve as a contrast to the anti-Harris/pro-Trump messaging in their programming, and help Harris to better define herself.

    2. As Pete Buttigeg recently pointed out, there are often other people in the room, such as family members, when Fox News is on, and they may not be quite as far right as the average person who turns to Fox News. Reaching these voters is important. They may also be more amenable to messaging for Harris than a typical person who turns to Fox News.

  9. Fox News loves bashing Harris yet loves her more for her advertisement money.

    At least it’s good to know that whenever a Harris ad is played, it may cause Fox News viewers to go ballistic. Fox News love inciting its audience but loves money more. xD

    An idea for a Harris ad for Fox News…

    “Dear supporters of Donald Trump, I have a few specific things I want to tell you. When I’m President, this is what I’ll do to you…

    I’ll give you access to affordable Healthcare, child care, and affordable housing. I’ll go after people and companies trying to rip you off out of your hard earned money, especially if it’s to feed your family. I’ll make sure you have an opportunity to get a good paying job that pays all the bills you need to get by, and then some.

    Because I don’t view American politics as a football game where you’re on one side and I’m on the other. I believe patriotism is doing whatever it takes to make sure ALL Americans get a chance to live their American dream.”

    Because I think when Fox News viewers do actually hear Democrats talk about trying to do good things for people, they think Democrats mean only for those on their side (Democrats), because that is what the Republicans mean when they talk about policy.

  11. Not enough focus on Christian Nationalism. Trump is only a tool being used by this conservative agenda.

    Funny that I haven’t seen a single ad from Trump in Colorado, guess we aren’t a competitive state anymore.

  13. She needs to flood Fox News with so many adds that they’ll have no choice but to turn it off.

    A lot of people watch Fox News because the sensationalism is entertaining even if they are more center

    People getting worked up is exciting

  15. Pete Buttegieg said that the reason he goes on Fox so often is because he thinks that a lot of their viewers aren’t full blown Maga cultists, but simply people who get all their information from one source. So someone going on Fox and questioning their narrative disrupts the echo chamber and causes those viewers to realize they’re not getting the whole picture.

    So yes, Harris running ads on Fox is a good strategy.

  16. I just went to the Lincoln Project’s website and they’ve been posting about an ad a day on it. Has anyone seen any of these ads on media?

  17. There should be ads on Fox News that say “it’s impossible for your husband to ever find out how you voted.”

  18. It’s a smart buy – airing during the daytime, when programming is more hard news based, and more likely to catch more moderate seniors than the rage junkies who tune in during prime time.

  19. wad Un gym around 3:30 cST and the Fox News channel banner at bottom was “Even CNN thinks Kamalas economic plan is communist”..

    I just wanted to scream at the TV..
