The new trick by Republicans is to not release the ad directly to the public, but rather let the media react to it with targeted previews. Then like a little 5 yr old, jump up and down and say, "See! The liberal media is against it. It MUST be true!" Someone at Fox must be slippin or not taking enough mind numbing psychotics to have a conscience over a paid ad.

Shallow and shoddy analysis. The ad is unfit for airwaves on a news network based on its blatant inaccuracy, leaving aside the shameless racial fear-mongering.
Not every single issue in America needs two perspectives that compete. Cable TV has somehow convinced our brains that everything, from vaccinations to healthcare to gravity, boils down to which talking head speaks or types faster, louder and (in some rare cases) more convincingly. But some things are simply inaccurate, for any honest observer. Some things are simply shameless race-baiting, and fair-minded people can agree. I'm not saying this ad of 45's is necessarily such a case, but I hope for our own good it comes damned close.
Way past time. None of the major news sources should have run the bigoted trash. Better late than never.
I'm pretty sure the ad will get posted to "certain" Facebook feeds. That's how they do it, Hitler tactics, all the problems in the world is because of the Jews.
I'm waiting for @pgabriel, @Space Ghost, and @crash5179 ,non-Trump voters frequent Trump supporters, to declare themselves.
Even better...this wasn't the ad they had initially put together to run as their closing argument. The original ad was a positive one highlighting the economy. The problem was... Trump 'hated' his campaign's closing ad and insisted on immigration pivot
The Trump ad barely skims the truth of the "immigrant caravans". Jihadis trained in and by Iran were inserted into Honduras and are part of the group that would like to storm the border. The ad was tame in comparison to what Trump really could, and perhaps should, have said.
Your statement: Jihadis from Iran that intend on committing terrorism in the U.S. started in Honduras with the caravan. That means - 1. The jihadists began walking in Honduras and have made it to Mexico and are still walking towards the U.S. (Is that they way terrorists with Iranian backing would travel?) 2. The Caravan will get to a U.S. point of entry and have to wait while the individual cases for asylum are researched and investigated. If the cases don't meet all of the requirements for being granted asylum the people will not be allowed entry into the United States. (Would Iranian trained terrorists walk thousands of miles in order to get to the border of the U.S. then go through all the trouble of applying for Asylum and hope and pray that against the odds they will be allowed inside?) 3. These trained Jihadists are in the midst of a highly publicized extremely tightly watched group so large that there is no way to hide. Well if that's how terrorists are working, then we will have no problem winning any battle against terrorists that start their cells thousands of miles away, have them walk slowly for thousands of miles in a group in which they will stick out like sore thumbs because they won't fit in with all of the other thousands of asylum seekers in that caravan, finally make it to a legal point of entry, and then take their chances that the application for asylum will be granted. Actually, most neighborhood watch organizations could defeat terrorists like that. Why wouldn't the Jihadists sneak into the country as tourists, students, workers, etc.? They are funded by Iran, their chances of getting in that way would be far easier than walking in a caravan with people who would recognize them and keep their eyes on them as outsiders, then stop at a legal point of entry and hope they are granted asylum (which few asylum seekers actually are). Why wouldn't the Jihadists try and sneak over the border somewhere in the desert where there is no legal port of entry with border agents stationed around the clock in large numbers? It sounds to me like somebody fed you a lot of crap and you swallowed it. If I were you, I would stop listening to whoever fed that load of crap. What you are claiming makes absolutely zero sense.
