Campaign manager: "OK, we're in third, we need something that really sells 'AMERICA'. Heartland, Made In America feelings. Let's brainstorm."

Marco Rubio: "Vancouver!"

Campaign manager: "Uh..."

Marco Rubio: "Vancouver! We'll use Vancouver in our ads. Distinctive Vancouver landmarks, Canadian flags, all that jazz."

Campaign manager: "Okay, everyone does love Vancouver, it's a wonderful place, but are you sure that really says 'America' to Joe Sixpack?"

Marco Rubio: "YOU'RE FIRED. New campaign manager, we're going to prominently feature Vancouver in our rah-rah go-America-go 'Vote Rubio' ads. Any complaints?"

New campaign manager: "None at all!"


I kinda wish Cruz had made this particular stupid own-goal.

Presumably, the Ronald Regan campaign made the same mistake. Yankees, this what your country could look like if your country looked like mine. Look! I'm riding a moose!

Nah. Reagan's was filmed in California. In the original, the shot is from San Francisco Bay.

I stand corrected. I misunderstood the radio jockeys.

I assume that, later on in the ad, Marco Rubio wedges a katana in the door of a sports car and takes out a hovercraft which symbolises Barack Obama's hot air and government waste, right?

It's almost as good!

Viewer: Huh. It's an ad from the guy who isn't Trump. He's in the Senate, yeah?

Other viewer: Yeah, I think so.

Viewer: Is he the careerist guy that everybody hates, and is secretly from Canada?

Ad: Canada! Marco Rubio!

Both: Yup, he's the asshole from Canada.

Odd, but then graphic designers for politicians have a long history of mucking it up. I'm sure the pressure to complete these ads quickly makes editorial overview nonexistent. And still not missing commercial TV.
