After watching this ad I was struck by the lack of any kind of policy position, other than “beat the Dems”. It’s as if policy is unimportant, but you all know what we want *wink wink*. With no GOP platform what exactly are they supporting? Some vague “anyone but the other team/party” emotion? Sadly I live among many of them.

The GOP has not written a party platform since 2016 and then it was one to favor tfg, so it’s no wonder republicans never mention any policies they want to put forward. When did they ever say what would replace the ACA once they repealed it? How can the party develop any cogent plans for the country when it’s in a constant state of internecine war?
I was baffled by this ad, too, and tried to write something about it, but couldn't pin down my unease enough to explain it. Your words come close. It wasn't "beat the dems": that was him explaining his initial feelings about Trump and his chaos. Then a vague segue to after the election and realizing that we need someone who is will work on the issues. "If we vote for Trump, we'll lose all that". I think it is a low-key way of reaching Trump supporters with doubts without coming out and saying vote for Dems. Or maybe it is a low-key way of saying let's find some body other than Trump to run. "Issues" were not defined, just alluded to. You never win hearts by hitting somebody over the head. Just feel something didn't quite jell. But I guess it's a start.

Remember, the 2016 platform deleted support for Ukraine.
That's the entire MAGA platform: "Own the libs."
