Trump Campaign Drops Powerful New Ad!


Oh wait. 

Never mind.

That's a Republican campaign ad from [checks notes]...wow!  34 years ago!

It's the so-called "White Hands" ad that Republican Senator Jesse Helms' aired on television during the 1990 Senate election in North Carolina. The ad is considered to be a critical factor in Helms's narrow victory over Gantt and was written and produced by Alex Castellanos.

It's almost as if Republicans have known all along that their key to victory was pandering to the bigots and imbeciles who constitute the overwhelming majority of the Republican base.

And you know who Castellanos is, right?  Worked for Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond and a parade of other Republican horribles, climbing the greasy pole of the Republican campaign consultancy until he made it to the big time and took his talent for cutthroat scumbaggery to the world presidential campaigns.

And what does such as one as this creature do now?

You already know, don't you.  Or you're at least in the ballpark.  Because there  is a Club...

From Wikipedia:

Castellanos is currently a principal partner at Purple Strategies, major clients of the bipartisan firm have included the United States Chamber of Commerce, BP and PhRMA.

Castellanos is a guest commentator and contributor for CNN and has appeared on Meet the Press...

Castellanos writes online commentary for The Huffington Post and National Review, and is also a public speaker and member of the Washington Speakers Bureau...

In 2008, Castellanos was a resident fellow at [wait for it...] Harvard University's Institute of Politics. 
 
The following year, Castellanos became a senior communications advisor to Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele...

And now?

Well, sensing the opportunity to put even worse monsters in power while at the same time grifting the same old bigots for some brand new money, Castellanos has wedged himself as far up Trump's ass as humanly possible 

Because this is who Republicans are.

And this is who they have always been.
