[MEDIAITE] If the object now is to keep score of how many people of color are in an ad, Sanders' ad is no whiter than Hillary's closing argument, so maybe someone should give David Brock a sedative and wake him up when we get to South Carolina. It's Iowa, for crying out loud. This is another example of a Hillary surrogate pressing a point that they ought to leave alone. Bernie already has a problem with non-white voters, he doesn't need "help" from David Brock, especially when that "help" involves turning an issue that so many people care deeply about into so much political wordplay.As for the ad itself, it's a great general election ad, and a stark contrast to the hollow warm fuzzies of the Sanders ad, but it shortchanges Hillary and the viewer by completely nullifying the ambition that her campaign has shown thus far. The "rainbows and unicorns" attack on Sanders, which the Hillary campaign has been ramping up, really needs some modulation for Democratic voters. We like a little bit of rainbow, a little bit of unicorn, in our policy tapas plate.
Hillary...
“helped get health care for eight million kids”
“helped a city rise again”
“stared down hostile leaders around the world.”
“The one candidate for president who has everything it takes to do every part of the job.”
“stop the Republicans from ripping all our progress away.”
“I’m listening to you, I’m fighting for you, and with your support, I’m going to deliver."
