[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) is hitting President Trump for "broken promises" in the first television ad of for her presidential campaign, a 30-second spot that will air in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.

The advertisement hits Trump over promises Gillibrand says he has broken over manufacturing jobs, drug prices and infrastructure.

The ad will air in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Ohio, Detroit, Lansing, Mich., and Flint, Mich., on both cable and digital platforms, according to a statement from Gillibrand's campaign.

The statement said that they are targeting Obama-Trump voters.

It then features a line the New York senator said in the first Democratic debate:
"As president, I will take on the fights that no one else will.
Democrats are assessing this primary based on who is tough and smart ..."

She has struggled to gain traction in the polls with the RealClearPolitics average of polls listing her in the bottom half of the field, polling at an average of 0.4 percent.

1. Waste of money

I really doubt that Gillibrand will last until the New Hampshire primary. While I disapprove of the demonetization of her that goes from many, I really don't see her breaking through. We have some really great candidates in the primary field, I just don't think Gillibrand is one of them.

2. I agree. And I'm guessing that's why Amy Klobuchar isn't challenging Gillibrand

for evicting her brother Minnesotan senator, Al Franken, from his office. Not worth the money.

3. Klobucher never defended Franken

She stayed silent throughout the whole thing.

And if she challenges Gillibrand, she also has to challenge Harris, Sanders, Warren and Booker. All of whom called on Franken to resign the same day.

4. if she is going after Trump then it's a good thing

while she still not won the nomination herself. just putting out the anti trump message helps Democrats as a whole.
