Clinton and Pelosi take star turn -- in GOP attack ads

‘If you are a Republican — man, woman, child or house plant — you are genetically predisposed to detest Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary is not far behind.’

Republicans will face a massive gender gap at the polls this November, but they’re still betting big on an ad strategy that demonizes two of the most recognizable women in American politics.

Over the last 30 days, close to 100 Republican-funded TV spots casting Hillary Clinton, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — or both — as villains have aired more than 34,000 times, according to data compiled for POLITICO by Advertising Analytics. In three battleground Senate races alone — Indiana, Missouri and West Virginia — ads featuring Pelosi or Clinton blanketed TV screens, running more than 1,100 times in each state.

All told, Republican campaigns or affiliated groups sank $28.4 million into the Clinton and Pelosi messaging over the last month.

“It’s all about energizing the Republican base,” said Republican strategist Ana Navarro. “If you are a Republican — man, woman, child or house plant — you are genetically predisposed to detest Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary is not far behind.”

1. Josh Hawley is even using Chuck Shumer in his lame ass ads.

This is after blasting McCaskill with association with Nancy and Hillary all summer. Claire and her husband’s “crimes” have escalated to the point where people are probably shouting “lock her up” at Josh rallies.

Who are you running against, Josh?

3. I've just moved to MoKan area, I'm blown away at the half ass'd republican adds. One of them attacke

... attacked McCaskill for flying in a plane vs taking a bus.

HOW IN THE HELL is the MO senate race even close !?!?

Hawley isn't running on anything !!!

I'm also blown away at the fact that he sued to help insurance companies take away precondition protections and to MAGATs that's no big deal.

He's even lying about it !!!

What in the hell can dems do to show these bastards don't give a damn !?

6. My daughter sent me a text a couple nights ago...

“Mom...make Josh Hawley go away.”

Me: “Honey, you may be voting against that guy after I am gone. America.”

2. One trick pony's, unpaid MAGATs are getting bored with the same attack lines

4. What percentage of cons are Repubs now? Polls have been

saying around 24-26% of the electorate for a while, but a lot of bad things have been happening since the last gold-standard poll.

So setting aside their reliably debased "base," what effect will this spiteful, misogynistic idiocy have on those already repelled into no longer identifying themselves as Republican?

5. Voters are totally disgusted with the republican War on Women

That war failed the STINK TEST long ago. Give it up, you stubby-fingered KGOP dupes.
