Democrats Target Reichert With Trumpcare Attack Ad

[TexasTowelie]

While the bill itself is dead, Democrats are hopeful that the ill-fated American Health Care Act will continue to haunt U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online ad campaign calling out Reichert for helping to vote the bill out of the Ways and Means committee. The DCCC describes the campaign as a “5-figure ad buy” on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The ads will be targeted at Reichert’s district, which straddles the Cascade Mountains and includes Issaquah, Auburn and Wenatchee.

According to the DCCC press release: “Specifically, the DCCC ads will be geo-targeted to Washington’s Eighth District and featured on YouTube pre-roll, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, targeting swing voters 35 years and older, grassroots activists in the districts, and those that have engaged with the topic of ‘healthcare’ on social media.”

Like the anti-cartab campaign launched last week, the Reichert attack ad is rife with political ad cliches, including a foreboding voice-over and manic/menacing editing.

1. This will be a good test case for 2018.

ETA. I grew up in Tacoma and the GRK was part of our daily conversations as kids in the 80s.

5. Yes - I'm from Seattle

but Reichart is also known for screwing up the investigation for failing to follow certain leads.

6. I lived in Seattle for a long time too

And lived there the years when he was the King county sheriff.

I remember WTO very well and have never been a fan of his.

Not surprised, though, that he has maintained Dunn's old seat. I moved away in 2007 and hoped he would have been tossed out by now.

7. I know - that is what I don't understand

he is such a dork, he should have been voted out by now.

4. Good. Reichert has to be one of the most worthless and gutless Republicans

in Congress, who is most definitely not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
