Vice President Mike Pence will star in attack ads targeting Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Jon Tester (D-MT) on issues like immigration and Obamacare repeal, according to a Friday Politico report.
The commercials, funded by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, are slated to air by the end of next week.
Ironically, per Politico, Pence wrote an essay years ago in which he vowed to give up negative campaigning after a dismally failed House bid in 1990 that earned him many rebukes for his nasty and offensive tactics. However, since joining team Trump, his qualms about getting his hands dirty seem to have faded.
Donnelly, Heitkamp and Tester all represent states that Trump won by double digits in 2016, so Republicans see those states as opportunities to flip valuable Senate seats.
Hmm how many sanctuary cities are there Mikey in your Indiana? I haven’t heard of any in ND or MT either, so where’s your beef?
Do you really want to take on O-care in states those states? Have you checked on the health of their hospitals, their populations?
What I really want to know is how much finger wagging will there be?
Yeah ND and MT are just overwhelmed with all the undocumented people flooding into the state. All 2 or 3 of them.
Sadly, the less diverse a region, the more successful the attacks on “the others” can be. They have no personal experience to contradict the hate and will readily believe that, “THEY TOOK R JOBS!”
On the plus side, Pence is not popular in Indiana. He was a pretty awful governor who hurt our state, so go ahead and make that ad. It’s more likely to goose the opposition.
To be attacked by Pence is to be attacked by a16 year old white toy poodle with no teeth and a bad cough.
I thought unemployment was quite low in Indiana. What jobs are those?
