So tell me if that is an attack ad.
It certainly doesn't look like a thing that was described in the last article you linked. And whether Trump's campaign was involved in it, I don't see how it changes my main proposition - that Trump both wants to win and thinks he can pull it off. The time to stop assuming Trump wasn't serious or didn't have a chance was late January.

Quote:A federal judge ruled on Fridayhttp://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/ ... ights.html
that North Carolina’s recent voter purges likely violated federal law,
ordering the restoration of voting rights to thousands of people—most of
them minorities—in an emphatic ruling. U.S. District Judge Loretta
Biggs, who previously described
North Carolina’s system of revoking voting rights as “insane” and
reminiscent of Jim Crow–style voter suppression, held that the purges
constituted a “flawed process” that ran afoul of the National Voter
Registration Act.
The Robert's Supreme Court argument for emasculating the Voting Rights Act was that prejudice no longer exists. I have to wonder what the conservative bloc was smoking at the time.
The time stop thinking that Trump wasn't serious was when all the candidates were his enablers in the very beginning. Yes he wants to win. Whether he gets a statue after all of this is a different proposition.
