Bernie Sanders launches Nevada TV ad campaign

[Uncle Joe]

The "Real Change" ad, billed by Sanders' campaign as the first major Nevada TV blitz by a 2016 White House candidate, highlights the Vermont independent's biography and advocacy for "working families and for principle."

Sanders is counting on strong finishes in the first contests in Iowa (Feb. 1) and New Hampshire (Feb. 9.) to give his bid for the Democratic nomination momentum. But he's also making investments in states that vote later. The Nevada caucuses on Feb. 20 are the third major electoral event.

“Bernie intends to run a full-fledged national campaign beginning in Iowa and New Hampshire and extending into later states across the nation,” Sanders’ senior adviser, Tad Devine, said in a statement. “The campaign's movement into Nevada with statewide television advertising is a demonstration of Bernie's potential and strength with voters and our belief that his story and message of American's rigged economy held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance will resonate powerfully across the nation.”

His campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said more than 2 million contributions have given Sanders the resources for a strong advertising presence.

funded by over TWO million supporters.

[Uncle Joe]

11. I noticed that as well but so far in this campaign

I've also noticed that Bernie is frugal with the peoples' money.

Peace to you, SandersDem.

19. Video needs fixing! "Funded by over 2 mill Contributions"

That is all!

[Uncle Joe]

20. At first I thought about that as well, Blue State Bandit, but upon further reflection,

Bernie has been and still is frugal with his supporters' hard earned dollars and this has been a hallmark of his campaign.

21. How much to fix? -Wallet opens-

[Uncle Joe]

22. I don't know but I believe that Bernie is keenly aware of the mega-wealthy and powerful forces

arrayed against him.

Maybe the cost of redoing an ad to increase the number of contributions doesn't cost much but I believe Bernie is weighing every dollar in regards to money spent and the return on investment.

25. You are undoubtedly correct, Uncle Joe

There are still plenty of folks who are just now getting the message, and the original numbers are impressive enough.

[Uncle Joe]
