Political Ad Of The Year?

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

As Dilbert Creator Scott Adams exhalts "he did not disappoint. In my opinion, his final ad is the political ad of the year, if not the best ever."

Here's what Adams believes makes this ad so special...

1. Trump delivers his lines perfectly, like an experienced actor. We haven't heard him like this before. You probably didn't think he had this in him. He stays calm and assured, but not cocky. That is an effective counter-framing to Clinton's framing of Trump as an unpredictable madman. Here Trump comes off as perfectly reasonable and deeply empathetic. 

2. The timing is perfect. This race went so low that even the trolls were starting to gasp for oxygen. Trump made us wait for relief – Hollywood style. He made us crave civility and sanity. And just when we thought it was out of reach, he goes ultra-positive. But here's the best part. Clinton has no good options to counter this message. If she stays dark, Trump finishes as the inspirational one. If she tries to match his positive message, she has little chance of doing it this well. 

3. While Obama is out talking about his legacy, and Clinton is out talking about making history as the first woman president, Trump (the narcissist) asks for the American people's help in draining the swamp and making America great again. That's one heckuva contrast to end on.
