Someone, Somewhere: "I Watch the GOP Debates For the Commercials"
As with any jingoistic carnival worth enduring, the content ostensibly central to Tuesday’s GOP debate was far overshadowed by that which seemed to be at its periphery: the commercials.
In addition to promos for Michael Bay’s terror-porn action-thriller 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, the trailer for this horrible-looking movie about football and hope “from the writer of RUDY and HOOSIERS” played, too.
Mustard cardigans: good for Aaron Eckhardt; good for America.
The conservative American Action Network ran this beautifully-framed, Soviet-themed, anti-Elizabeth Warren ad about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Riveting stuff!
Also CNN bought a weird amount of airtime? Overall, an improvement over the ads around the debate in October, at least.
