      I mean, I can go get a bunch of time-stamped stuff if you want, but you can literally type “Trump says dumb shit during campaign” into any search engine and get hundreds (well, probably millions, but I’m lowballing it since I only looked at the first 4-5 pages) of links to front-page headlines, videos, online articles, op-ed pieces, etc., from every source you can imagine from The Guardian and Forbes Magazine to late-night hosts and yahoo news (all dated during the campaign-election cycle).

        Cool cool, you’re right, me being in swing state and seeing dozens of ads, none of which being like I described, is wrong.

          You moved the goal posts from news talking about it to ads on TV not talking about them. Which you’re, right, they didn’t run nearly enough ads about it! But it was still discussed in the news, also not as much as it should’ve been

            Nope, check your reading comprehension, was clearly (at least for most people) talking about ads from the beginning, unless you think I meant the DNC should have spent some of their billions on…news stories??
