This is not a new idea, I have been thinking about this for months and waiting for
the right moment.

HRC campaign should organize an in-person live endorsement of HRC by
Jack Nicholson.  Produce a video endorsement, which Nicholson did in 2008,
with a theme "she's the real deal".  Run the video one time as a paid television
ad on day two. Then put the video on her Facebook page.  Then email or text
the video to small donors and potential donors for a "fight back" fundraising appeal.

Use text such as "I was raised by women, and I like the idea of America electing the
first woman president, so long as it's the right person.  I've known Hillary Clinton
for X years, and she is the right person.  I know you hear a lot of stuff coming from
the other guys, but don't believe it.  I think Donald Trump was right when he said
Hillary was magnificent first lady and senator.  I think Carly Fiorina was right when
she said in 2008 that she would have supported Hillary over any other candidate if
her friend John McCain wasn't running.  And Senator McCain was right when he said
Hillary was an outstanding Secretary of State.

So don't believe these other guys when they call her names.  Hillary Clinton is the
real deal. They can't handle the truth, and I know the truth because  I've known Hillary Clinton for X years, and while she is fighting for us, we have to fight for her.  I hope you'll join me."

You get the idea.  There are other ways to text this.  Jack Nicholson has a history of
supporting HRC.  He embodies a tough authenticity and genuineness.  He did a
good video for her in 2008.  He is the ideal guy to appeal to men and women and
make "the real deal" argument in ways that aren't boilerplate politics and champion
the "she fights for us" and "fight back" themes in 60 seconds.   And might mentioning
Trump giving her such high praise it would attract even more huge attention and put
the GOP slanders today in the context of the truth.

For the right message, Jack Nicholson is the perfect messenger.
