Yeah the ads are pretty lame and shallow going with Newport creamery and local foods especially when he said his favorite breakfast place in Cranston is Panera. Politics aside, He also looks like a real bitch at those trump rallies

All political ads are terrible, IMO. I can't think of a single political ad I've ever seen that has ever inspired an ounce of desire in me to vote for the candidate. I think they hurt more than they help, because people dread political ad season, and the ceaseless repetition of them makes them really intrusive and annoying, which is counterproductive to the intent.

All political ads are terrible. I’m avoiding all local channels except for local news, and when the commercials come on TV, I head to the kitchen.

I think the only good campaign ads have been the ones that are so unhinged and weird that you don't get how the fuck anyone signed off on it from script to air. Sadly, those ones are pretty rare around here.

Yes..branding is everything🤣

How about Ashley Transplant’s “McKee/Biden agenda” ad that talks about 47 problems at the same time, but has no flow and offers no solutions?

But no she's "pro life pro life"

We call her Amber in our house...Amber Callous

I think his govanah who lives with his muthah ad helped him squeak by.

He's arguably the weirdest dude in the history of RI politics.
Impossible-Heart-540 t1_ircm0nl wrote
Except, he probably will win. He’s not great, but she’s no Rob Levine either…and there a lot more Ds here than Rs. We’ll see.🤷🏼♂️
dman_usa t1_ircmm5g wrote
Tides are turning. McKee is unlikable
Impossible-Heart-540 t1_ircnabk wrote
Honestly, with a legislature that’s 80% D, that can easily override any executive veto, any R governor is gonna be powerless.
So not really worth getting too exercised about this race either way.
More importantly hopefully the Pats can turn it around.

And that is saying something..

The Matt Brown and Cynthia Mendes ones were at least kinda funny
MarlKarx-1818 t1_irco7z6 wrote
McKee is definitely unlikable. Kalus is awful though. She is running a campaign with no policy, just talking points.
Proof-Variation7005 t1_ircs2tz wrote
I like to imagine there was an original edit where someone realized that nobody said “Rhode Island” and they had to superimpose the graphic. That and it makes it seem like they’re married

I saw a Fung commercial earlier tonight and he was at Twin Oaks.

The ads are terrible. Fung is terrible. His party breaks records for terribleness. But damn, the ads expertly push the "He's one of us (and the other guy is not)" button because that's the only thing they got that is not an unpopular position or flat-out lie.

I see that commercial and think he almost has it right...except it's him that is "Awful Awful".
mkmck t1_irefcdm wrote
He's smarmy as fuck. He makes used car salesmen look trustworthy.
mkmck t1_irefg9c wrote
He knows the answer...he's just being his usual dick-ish self.
mkmck t1_irefpv3 wrote
Not to mention that she has lived here for about 20 minutes, and thinks that POS DeSantis is the ideal politician. She has no shot despite McKee being as unlikeable, and probably corrupt, as he is.

dman_usa t1_ireggga wrote
How is that fixed? Uphill Battle he can’t win he is losing with Independent according to the new Providence Journal poll. That right there isn’t good.
MarlKarx-1818 t1_iregh3c wrote
Yeah, that's a good point. How does she think she can get independents and undecideds claiming DeSantis as her political hero. It's bananas.
dman_usa t1_iregjwc wrote
Leading among Independents w 2 months out? Dan McKee shouldn’t take Nov lately like Seth
mkmck t1_iregro2 wrote
True. I'd love to be able to edit her campaign signs. "RI needs a fighter"...sorry whack-job, but RI needs a Rhode Islander as our governor, not some self-entitled twat who thought RI would be her best chance to get elected somewhere.

The only people who are going to vote for the whack-job that moved here just to run for office are the same 35-40% that think Hair Furor is the best president ever. This ain't Alabammy, son.

moved here? Im 20 Born and raised in Western Cranston. I’ve seen the destruction the DNC is capable of.
mkmck t1_irel5xi wrote
SHE just moved here. Reading comprehension issues I see. So you are a product of Fung's school system? Little wonder you're so fucking clueless.
william1Bastard t1_iresk3v wrote
I cannot for the life of ne, grasp how tf he EVER gained traction in this state. I've always had an extremely dim view of Cranston on the whole, but his existence as a political entity is all their fault. Not only is your city an ugly, smelly, trash covered shithole, you clowns sold your souls for a fucking tax cut. Loser shit.
[deleted] t1_irey2dl wrote
All politics aside, he and/or his media manager are completely missing the point with that one ad where they are all in a restaurant with patrons and waitstaff, doing the pro Fung schpeel and at the end they all, on cue, yell out “it’s a wrap”. It’s weirdly cult like with an slightly aggressive flair. My first response was a good laugh, and then fear set in

Cranston resident here. Never voted for him. Cranston has liberal pockets and nice areas. Sorry about Fung...he is an embarrasment.
therealDrA OP t1_irbnjy2 wrote
I mean of course I am no fan of his, but with all the money the GQP and Kevin McCarthy are pouring in, one would think they could do better. Fung has this attitude like everyone missed him and he is baack. Sounds like Poltergeist not a congressman.
