The MAGA Anti-Kamala Harris Ads Here

Watching television here in the Detroit area on the local tv stations, we're seeing a lot of ads going after Kamala Harris on the issue of immigration and the border. Of course they're designed to portray her in the worst light. They are very numerous when the local NBC affiliate (channel 4 here) is broadcasting their morning recap of the Olympics.

I'm happy that they're focusing on that. That kind of messaging will resonate with the Fox News addicts, but if they have to advertise to their base, they have real trouble because their base should already be a lock. If they were focusing on economic issues that would resonate more with independents and democrats who were wavering, I'd be more worried about it.

As far as I'm concerned, I hope they keep spending all their ad dollars that way.

No. I had to look it up just now, but the only Sinclair owned affiliates (any) are in the Thumb area (3), 4 on the west side of the state and one in Sault Ste. Marie. There are none listed for Detroit and the suburbs.

The Sinclair station around here (Albany, NY) is the CBS affiliate. I notice that the late news team no longer asks viewers to stay tuned for Stephen Colbert.

Even our Mayor is an immigrant and he got about 80% of the vote. Of course he's Jewish from Mejico.
