Tim watches and reacts to Trump's ad calling Ed Gallrein 'central casting,' breaking down how the phrase means the campaign picked an actor-like figure to fool voters, and mocks the empty 'he shook my hand' pitch.
- Ed Gallrein defeated Thomas Massie with over $32 million in spending.
- Trump's endorsement focused on Gallrein being a retired Navy SEAL.
- Trump literally used the term 'central casting' to describe Gallrein in the ad.
- Tim explains central casting means they found a war hero who looks the part to fool voters.
- The campaign's actual pitch was that Gallrein shook Trump's hand so hard it almost broke his hand.
- Tim argues voters actually elected Gallrein based solely on the handshake and appearance.
- The ad's closing pitch was just 'elect him' after admitting he's a selected candidate from central casting.
- Gallrein never speaks in the entire commercial promoting him for office.
