    “I voted for him twice. I won’t vote for him again,” says Bob Lange, a family farmer from Malvern, Pennsylvania, of Trump in the ad that was first obtained by Axios. “Never thought I’d say this, but the Democrats are the party of common sense.”

    Oh god not the “A vote for the Democrats is a vote for common sense” argument again. You have to offer voters something tangible, not “you’ll be smugly reasonable and rational if you vote for us.”

      smuglord: “If you’re not a Republican at age 20, you have no sense of humor. If you’re still one at age 40, you have no brain!”

        That’s part of the problem, a lot of conservatives that got disillusioned with the GOP under Dubya went to the Democrats. But they’d didn’t adjust their politics, they just dragged the party rightward on everything but token minority/disenfranchised “representation.”
