"SNIP.......


USA Today: “The House Democratic leader has been featured in roughly one-third (34%) of all GOP broadcast ads aired in House races this year… That compares with 9% in all of 2016 and 13% in 2014.”

1. That is how the GOP is going to try to save the House.

[Proud liberal 80]

2. They always make a Democratic boogeyman

Now that Obama and Clinton are out of the limelight, it’s back to the mid 2000’s when it was Pelosi.

[OliverQ]

17. Actually, they're using anti-Clinton ads too.

MSNBC showed a Republican I think in Illinois running an ad attacking Clinton.

[Mr. Ected]

3. I think we may be able to work Trump into around 100% of our ads

Not as the focal point, but definitely the tie that binds.

[HopeAgain]

28. My thought exactly...

[Wellstone ruled]

4. If every one recalls,this was Ryan's go to message he anounced last fall.

The RNC is all in with this Ad.

[JDC]

5. I just don't get it. Why?

[monmouth4]

6. Well, she's a very smart woman, she has opinions she's willing to share, she never backs

down from a fight and they really hate that. Go Nancy!

[Mariana]

7. Because it works. nt.

[EffieBlack]

11. No, it doesn't. They just want us to THINK it does so that we'll turn on our best people

And, unfortunately, lots of us keep falling for it.

[Mariana]

13. No, it really does work.

Republican voters hate and fear her almost as much as they hate and feared Hillary and President Obama.

[OliverQ]

18. They ran anti-Pelosi ads against Conor Lamb.

Didn't work there.

[EffieBlack]

19. Anyone who hates and fears Pelosi that much is never going to vote for a Democrat anyway.

[Mariana]

24. Exactly. Those ads are designed to frighten the Republican voters

so as to motivate them to drag their carcasses out vote against Democrats, even when they're dissatisfied with their own party.

[EffieBlack]

25. Thats fine. We got people, too.

[Mariana]

26. I agree. nt.

[LenaBaby61]

30. "And, unfortunately, lots of us keep falling for it."

IE: Al Franken.

[EffieBlack]

31. Exhibit A

[applegrove]

12. Because the right wing doesn't want to lose the House. If they can boguywoman the democratic

leader of the House people will not vote for Dem candidates. That looks to be the strategy.

[Tatiana]

14. Because it's effective. It's how they win. It's what they did to Hillary.

Then you get people to come to the polls to vote AGAINST the woman that you have demonized.

They don't have to sell their awful Republican candidates.

Where we go wrong is we just let this go unchallenged. We should be mounting a great defense of Pelosi... starting with her fight for health care and seniors.

[pnwmom]

23. Because she's EFFECTIVE and a THREAT to their goals. n/t

[TheDebbieDee]

8. Pelosi should counter by endorsing republican candidates starting the last

week of September!

Those candidates will go NUTS and spend millions trying to convince voters that it's not true. And the un-informed republican voters may never find out that Pelosi's endorsement was not accepted.

It would teach the right-wing to think twice about demonizing Democrats in the future, knowing that the DEMON can be turned loose on republican candidates!

[hurl]

15. +1

LOVE this idea... Effective chaos!

[leftstreet]

21. LOL

[Dawson Leery]

9. Then Democrats should place Trump into their ads.

[EffieBlack]

10. Then she definitely needs to step aside

After all, we can't have anyone on our side that the Republicans don't like. We need to force her out and replace her with someone they feel more comfortable with. If Nancy Pelosi isn't Speaker anymore, Republicans and wayward Dems who voted for Trump last time around will vote for Democratic candidates and we'll take back the House.

Yeah, let's go with that.

16. They are Women Haters All

The Republican Party has become the party of women-Haters.

[EffieBlack]

20. Theyre running ads against Hillary, too

‘Nuff said.

22. They hate her. They really hate her.

And we can use this to our advantage if we play it right. It's all about strategic planning.

[Ohiya]

27. When Dems take the house, remove Trump and Pence, guess who?

[VOX]

29. Hannity, et al, cannot go 3 minutes without naming Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or George Soros.

Those fascist blowhards have NOTHING meaningful to add to the discourse, so they keep propagandizing relentlessly.
