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.
