Are we making this harder than it needs to be? isn't' the answer dirty ads?

Dems always want to win "clean."

But sometimes the only thing that destroys a lie is a bigger lie.

Right now the ends justify the means.

Edit to ad: just saw this on twitter

We don't have to make shit up. There are plenty of filthy facts to talk about in our ads. The Lincoln Project is a good example of how to do it. They don't lie in their ads, although there's some exaggeration in them. We should be at least as aggressive as they are in their ads. Make the GOP squeal!
