Trump Probably Regrets Saying People Under Indictment Should Be Barred From Running For President

Back in 2016, Donald Trump said that anyone under indictment shouldn't be allowed to run for President, which was a dig at the NOT INDICTED Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. He probably wishes he had never said those words, given that he's now a convicted felon. But the Democratic Party needs to use those words against him in their campaign ads this year, as Farron Cousins explains.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump made a statement during a rally that nobody under indictment should be allowed to run for president of the United States. Now, of course, at the time, this was a dig against Hillary Clinton, who as we all know was not indicted, but he still said it and directed it at her. Um, because I guess he thought his base would think she was under indictment, right? She was being investigated, you know, for the millionth time and no charges were filed against her. But Trump made it clear in 2016, nobody under indictment should run for office. I bet he's wishing right about now that he had never said that. But that brings us to another viewer question. This is from the Hound 90 86. Who asks, do you think Democrats should run campaign ads of Trump from 2016 saying a person under indictment shouldn't be allowed to run for president?

And if so, will it make a difference? Yes, yes and yes. By the way, yes to both of your questions. Every Democrat running for office needs to get that clip, which is very easy to find. Um, get the clip, put it out there in an ad, and maybe do a side by side with Donald Trump. You know, headlines of his indictments. You know, there's been lots of them, headlines of his conviction, all of that. Use his own words against him in the side by side kind of ad, and remind people that this is the guy who said I shouldn't be allowed to run. And yet here he is running and he's not just indicted, he is now a convicted felon. The Democrats, I mention this all the time, and I'm gonna keep mentioning it 'cause it's still true. They're horrible with messaging. They're horrible with getting their word out to the people. Even if they have a good message. There is no reason on God's green Earth why we shouldn't already be seeing ads on our TV from these Democrats. The Democratic Party is sitting on so much money right now. They don't know what to do with it. Run ads. It's that simple.

Democrats always wait till the last minute, right? We're probably not gonna see like National Democratic party ads until the July or August, really? And that's a shame. You should be running those ads today. You have the money to run those ads today. And when you run the ads, I'm not just talking about, we just stuck it up on YouTube. We made a video and we put it on Twitter. I'm talking about real ads that reach the majority of the country. The majority of the country is not on YouTube every day. They're not on Twitter every day. Do you know where they are? They're on their local news channel, the five o'clock news, six o'clock news. They're watching baseball games this summer. They're watching reruns of the Big Bang Theory on TBS every night. Go and run those ads there. Run them when people are

Watching tv, because if you're on YouTube or you're on Twitter and you see something you don't like, you scroll past it. If you're watching it on a real tv, you are stuck with it. I know TV is dying, cable is dying, all of that. But guess what? That's like the last place on earth where you can't skip ads. So put your ads there and put Trump's words in them, and not just the words of him saying somebody indicted shouldn't run for president. Throw in the Access Hollywood tape, throw in footage of the Capitol Riot, do all of that, but do it now. Don't wait until August. Don't wait until October. Do it now. And remind people of what a horrible piece of crap that man really is. 'cause trust me, 95 plus percent of the country does not consume political news daily. 95%. So those people right now, you're engaged. I'm engaged. Nearly the entire country is not, and the Democrats need to get busy reaching those people.
