Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a government controlled by you, the American people.”
Tim Hains at Real Clear Politics says today Donald Trump’s campaign released a new TV ad entitled “Donald Trump’s Argument for America,” in which the candidate outlines the rationale behind his campaign and asks the American people to vote against a “failed corrupt establishment” and for his positive vision for the future. The two-minute ad will run at special times during NFL, NCAA, and NASCAR events and in television markets in the battleground states of Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, and New Mexico.
“This is Mr. Trump’s positive closing message to American voters, and it comes at a time when Secretary Clinton has abandoned any positive message of her own. We believe voters are looking to go in a new direction and Mr. Trump is ready to lead this change,” the campaign said in a statement.
The ad specifically calls out Trump’s conception of “the political Establishment that is trying to stop us,” as images of Wall Street, Democrat financier George Soros, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, and Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton flash on screen. These are people, Trump says in the ad, “who don’t have your good in mind.”
“The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry,” Trump says.
He concludes: “The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you. The only force strong enough to save our country is us. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the American people.”

DONALD TRUMP: Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.
The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China and other countries all around the world.
It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you. The only force strong enough to save our country is us.
The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the American people.
I’m doing this for the people and the movement and we will take back this country for you and we will make America great again.
I’m Donald Trump and I approve this message.
It’s not exactly “Morning In America,” Reagan fans, but it’s pretty damn good.”
