The other piece is the irony of the GOP attempting to paint themselves as the Agents of Change in the upcoming, using a slogan that sounds like the same one used by a BigPharma company for an antidepressant that doesn’t work too well and has warnings of side effects like suicidal tendencies in effect since 2004.

So Eli took that, and built the final piece with them (the GOP) using the slogan for Ci*lis ads and claiming it had been “vetted”
