It isn't terribly effective as an opposition ad. It isn't personal enough, just black-and-white shots of vehicles at a distance and then explosions. It is too easy for it to be discounted with the drug war spin.

You need something up close and far more humanized, the worried or pained faces of people who look like they could be neighbors or relatives. The effectiveness lies in the contrast between their visible suffering and the indifferent frivolity of the Mar-A-Lago bunch.
