Moore's Dem opponent tells voters in new ad: 'I'll never embarrass you'

Source: The Hill




BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 12/07/17 11:04 AM EST

Democratic Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones on Thursday released a new advertisement hitting his Republican opponent Roy Moore, telling voters he would "never embarrass" them.

"I'm going to say a couple of things that Roy Moore can't. Alabama needs its two senators working together, and I'll never embarrass you," Jones said in the television spot.

Jones went on to say he would be able to work with his Republican counterparts better than Moore could "work with anyone."
The ad comes as the race intensifies less than a week before Moore and Jones face off on Dec. 12 for Attorney General Jeff Sessions' former Senate seat.

Politico reported late last month that Jones was spending seven times as much as Moore in an effort to woo voters.

The "resist Trump, do not cooperate" message that works in a deep blue state like California or Minnesota will not work in purple or red states.

give a shit. Obviously they don't.

I'm not at all familiar with his campaign, but I hope they have some better tactics than this. The one's that still support Moore are probably unreachable anyway.

Sure is a depressing state of affair we're in these days.
