Henry：Don Blankenship 的竞选广告制作粗糙，信息混乱，与目标选民严重脱节，完全没有说服力。其言论充满了夸张和偏见，例如将民主党与非法移民、跨性别者和贩毒联系起来，这与西弗吉尼亚州的民主党选民的实际情况严重不符。此外，广告中充满不专业的元素，例如低劣的制作质量和奇怪的结尾，进一步降低了其可信度。 Blankenship 的政治立场摇摆不定，曾是共和党人，后又成为宪法党候选人，如今又转投民主党，这使得他的竞选缺乏可信度。他的广告未能有效地与西弗吉尼亚州的民主党选民产生共鸣，反而可能损害了民主党的形象。 Don Blankenship: Blankenship 的广告试图将民主党描绘成一个与西弗吉尼亚州选民脱节的政党，并强调自己作为独立候选人的立场。他指责民主党支持非法移民、贩毒和反以色列活动，并暗示自己并非如某些人所言自杀。

Shownotes Transcript

Henry’s back after a brief hiatus as election season heats up! He's joined by National Review's Jim Geraghty to parse out the parties’ business-as-usual dysfunction from the special brand of it we've gotten used to recently. They consider whether the Republican Party even knows what it wants; what they’ll do if they pull off the trifecta in November; and what we should make of tight polls considering the Biden/Harris ticket’s historic unpopularity.Plus, Henry delivers his first ever Bad Ad of the Week, in response to Don Blankenship's clunker spot; and he makes a quick stop in Maryland to explain why Angela Alsobrooks' personal touch won out over David Trone's big money.
