Not an unfair clip. Arena never filled up; this is from during Trump’s speech. Bigger crowd than any Dem could get in Youngstown rn but he didn’t do the “they’re lined up outside trying to get in” schtick, as it visibly wasn’t packed.

I keep seeing "vote blue no matter who" cited as a semi-official Dem rule, and wondered which politician actually coined it. I think this is it? (Buttigieg on NH primary night 2020 and the line was specifically about voting whoever faced Trump, which looked like it might be Bernie.)

A head-turning new "Michigan First" ad from Dr. Abdul El-Sayed - he names some issue he agrees with MAGA voters on, then plays a supercut of Fox News hosts/Tucker praising him or bashing Mike Rogers.

to anyone who’s uncultured here’s how “Mr. Brightside” sounds, which is clearly not yodeling. It’s a form of celebration preformed at weddings and moments of joy all around michigan and iowa learnt from many generations. calling it “weird” or brushing it off is disrespectful.

Lots of attacks on Ilhan Omar and Abdul El-Sayed from Trump in Youngstown. On El-Sayed: “He’s a jihadist. He’s a jihadist!” Some applause for him talking about getting Haitians out of Springfield: “Remember during the debate, some of the things I said they were doing? I was right!” Brief protest interruption:

The Abdul grandparents ads is making the rounds. His 2018 gov campaign ran a similar ad with the same purpose - emphasize his MI roots and all-American life. Interesting to watch the different presentations.

Clever use of clipping by Tiffany campaign. The video cuts right after Crowley says he doesn't support a "moratorium," before he lays out his position - and criticizes Trump for wanting data centers without conditions that help locals/taxpayers. But look at the QTs, it's all people convinced that Tiffany just outflanked Crowley.
