CNN's John King: Bernie Sanders Ads In New Hampshire "Stand out on the crowded airwaves"

[UCmeNdc]

Transcript:

I’ll close with this:

A constant refrain in the Presidential race so far is that the TV ads haven’t been all that great, and haven’t done all that much to change the race. Now we’ll see if things change over the critical next months, as the campaigns and the superPACs make adjustments, and as Donald Trump promises to join the ad wars.

But as of today, if there’s one exception, I’d say it’s Bernie Sanders. Smart politicos in New Hampshire, both Democrats and Republicans, say one reason the Vermont Senator has a chance to beat Hillary Clinton there is that his ads stand out on the crowded airwaves, and are aimed squarely, directly at the democratic constituencies he knows are critical to his chances.

The part I find interesting is where King seems to do his best to use his first point to downplay his second.

1. Sanders ads stand out

because, unlike the incessant negative attack ads, he focuses on issues and his record and position on those issues. That's unheard of, and refreshing.

"Not all that great..."

Frankly, I can't remember the last time, before Sanders, I've seen, in my lifetime, an ad I thought was "great."

Vote Bernie - 2016!

28. unlike the incessant negative attack ads, he focuses on issues

Yeah... but has he talked to foster children????

That's the important question!









oh...

[Dems to Win]

2. Thanks for the links to the ads

I'm inspired!

[CorporatistNation]

3. Why Do They Stand Out? Integrity of Purpose In A Candidate With Substantial INTEGRITY!

K AND R!

[Plucketeer]

10. That's the way I see it too!

Do we want indefensible "baggage" or INTEGRITY?

[senz]

19. Yep. He doesn't have to fake integrity.

That right there is pretty refreshing!

[WillyT]

4. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

6. That real change ad is powerful

[SunSeeker]

8. That "Real Change" meme didn't work out great for Romney.

[cali]

9. Now that's a silly tenuous connection.

[Plucketeer]

11. The only "real change" Rmoney offered

was nickel and dime stuff - by design.

[Eric J in MN]

13. It worked for Justin Trudeau, new PM of Canada.

22. Looks like people do like political dynasties.

At least with regard to some political families.

[Helen Borg]

14. Yeh, becauseRomney wasn't for it.

And it was obvious

[cui bono]

16. Well Romney's change was likely in a binder somewhere.

[JDPriestly]

33. People did not want the "real change" Romney would have brought.

They do want the change that Bernie wants to bring about.

Romney is a total egotist.

Bernie is not.

That's the difference.

Romney from deep within only thinks about the advantage he will get from a policy or something he does or stands for.

Bernie from deep within thinks about the advantage everyone will get from the policies and things he does or stands for.

Neither man consciously realizes why he makes the choices he makes. They are just different very deep within who they are.

It's not that Bernie is perfect. It is that he cares.
Romney only cared about himself. No matter how much he tried to pretend that he cared about others (and maybe he did care about his family), he is just not capable about caring about the common good. Bernie does care about the common good. Bernie is just human, but with that special trait: he cares about the rest of us.

The Roosevelts, Teddy and Franklin as well as Eleanor also just were caring people. Teddy Roosevelt became that. Eleanor was that naturally. Franklin suffered and out of that suffering became a man of compassion and understanding.

Romney would never be able to understand that. Neither would Trump. And the Bushes are the very antithesis of caring people.

12. We can post links to the ads at Facebook and Twitter.

Spread the message.

[tecelote]

15. K&R!

[Duval]

17. K&R!

[cui bono]

18. Something I find interesting is H supporters trying to claim those crowds and that enthusiasm

don't mean much.



I like the Rigged Economy ad the best. Short and to the point. Besides, he used an image of MLK in the other ad, doesn't his campaign read DU?

[Scuba]

25. Snort!

[lark]

20. My name is Sandra Clark

and I too highly approve of both of these messages.

[Paka]

21. K&R

His ads stand out because he stands out. He embodies real change.

[Le Taz Hot]

23. Wow!

Those are such great ads! I can see why they stand out -- absolutely no bullshit, just honest, straightforward ideas. I can't wait to start seeing them in California.

[Uncle Joe]

24. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, UCmeNdc,

[saidsimplesimon]

34. Nashville Joe? Are you a moderator?

Just curious, you remind me of someone, perhaps it's just the avatar?

[Uncle Joe]

36. No.

I can't say that I am.

[randr]

26. He does this without showing any of Sanders ads

Wanna bet if whether or not they air the Trump relentlessly for free?

[Douglas Carpenter]

27. knr - I posted on Facebook
