This is going to be listed as one of the most effective campaign ads ever:

Critics will probably call this Willie Horton 2.0 - if they're old enough to remember Willie Horton.

    Good to sit & watch this ad.

    We need to get people aware of how preposterous it is that Venezuela is seeing a record drop in serious crime statistics because so many of their adult criminals have moved to the USA.

    And personally I will never ever forget the murder of Kate Stenle, 24 yrs old and shot by a drunken lunatic who thought he might kill some seals on a pier in San Francisco.

    Google isn't satisfied with monumentally stupid image (de)generation. As has long been suspected, they're cooking regular queries to present the results that they think you should have.

    More Google Shenanigans

    In most cases, Google stacks the algorithm to ensure you get the kind of answers they prefer you see, but in at least a few they simply ignore your question and return results that are to a question you didn't even ask.

    I’ve noticed this a lot lately. I’ve kind of given up being able to find even information I know exists to ensure I get details right. The search engines are all useless in doing research now. Talk about dark ages, we are kinda entering one now. None of the information that will be published and available from this era will be accurate.

    It may be a devastating ad, but that will not make it effective. To be effective, it will have to convince people to vote for Mr Trump who would otherwise not do so. Too many people have given up on Mr Trump for it to be effective.

    If the Republicans would nominate someone under the age of 60 who does not spout nonsense every other day, this election would be a settled thing. But no, we always have to take the hard way.

    Let's hope that I am wrong.
