Eric Greitens is blasting his way into the public eye\u2014and not in a good way. Most candidates\u2019 first TV ads are homey affairs, introducing themselves and their all-American families, and focusing on the personal history that drove them to public service. Not so for Greitens. He\u2019s a Republican, running for Governor of Missouri, and his first ad is very different, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Watch this, and you\u2019ll see what I\u2019m talking about:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nThis is what passes for political advertising in 2016. Unfortunately, in gun-loving Missouri, it’s well-targeted. [Missouri’s legislature recently passed a bill making it legal to concealed-carry a gun without a permit. It’s the wild wild west out here.]<\/p>\nWell, at least in his ad, Greitens is not aiming at an image of another politician. But if this is his opening round [pun intended], we can expect a lot more of this macho, gun-totin\u2019 attitude as the August Missouri primary election gets closer. The ad blitz has just begun. Greitens is in a four-way race with some other very aggressive candidates. It’s going to get ugly, and if this ad is an indicator, the ugly is going to be really bad.<\/p>\nPS: This is not an ad created by a PAC that [supposedly] cannot tell the candidate what it’s up to. This ad is funded by Greitens himself. This is who he is and how he chooses to present himself.<\/p>\nAnd this may only be the beginning:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.occasionalplanet.org\/2015\/07\/15\/eric-greitens-lost-in-republican-land\/\">Greitens<\/a> has amassed a giant campaign treasury\u2014more than $4 million so far–<a href=\"https:\/\/showmeprogress.com\/2016\/01\/17\/eric-greitens-r-january-2016-quarterly-campaign-finance-report-running-for-governor-in-which-state\/\">over half of which comes from donors outside of Missouri.<\/a> The speculation is that he and his national donors are angling for a shot at the Republican presidential nomination in 2020.<\/p>\nGreitens is locked and loaded. \u201cWe don\u2019t need more rhetoric,\u201d he says, in print. But his bang-bang, blow-\u2018em-up debut ad implies an alternative that is much worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eric Greitens is blasting his way into the public eye\u2014and not in a good way.
