    Guy hits all the Liberal sore points, corruption, thugs, election hijinks, illegals, farms, and guns.  And really can they label this guy a cowboy without everyone going “D’uh”?  He captures the anger well too.  Sounds like a guy down at the general store who’s decided to do something about what everyone is always venting over.
     
    This ad also seems to get the internet.  It is fast paced to keep you attention in the internet world.  You can always hit replay or go on line if you see it on TV.  Most ads and interviews on the internet are still paced at TV speed which doesn’t work when you can open another site or read your Twitter while a video is playing.  Geekbrief TV has this pace.  A breathless info dump that knows you’ll be moving on in a minute so doesn’t waste your time.  Everything is pull these days.  Push has been out run and fallen face down in the mud.

    What’s strange isn’t that he held it either way. What is strange is that both show up in the commercial, as if there was no time gap between them.
     
    One would expect it to be either entirely improper straight through or entirely correct, because the angle of the shot provides little room for speculation.
     
    This gives the sense that the juxtaposition was intentionally edited in. For what reason would they do that?

    I think he should run for President of the United States.
