You know it's funny, if all Democrats were like Bernie Sanders the Republicans would never win another race outside of a few southern stares.

Exclusive: Tough new Sanders ad takes aim at Clinton

The day after a contentious debate in Brooklyn, Bernie Sanders’ campaign is deploying its toughest TV ad yet targeting Hillary Clinton and her ties to Wall Street ahead of Tuesday’s make-or-break primary in New York.

“While Washington politicians are paid over $200,000 an hour for speeches, they oppose raising the living wage to fifteen dollars an hour,” the ad’s narrator says. “Two hundred thousand dollars an hour for them. But not even fifteen bucks an hour for all Americans. Enough is enough.”

The ad, which was shared first with NBC News, never mentions Clinton, but many will recognize it as clearly aimed at the former secretary of state. It begins airing Friday.

4. Oh man. Bernie knows that this issue has traction, and Hill can't suddenly disavow her benefactors.

She miscalculated. If she wanted to run for President, she should not have cashed in. Patience is a virtue Mrs. Clinton, and you don't have it.

Hired voice talent always sounds like the same handful of people who do "scare" ads, and the minute I hear one of those voices, I immediately go into "reject" mode. If they didn't want Bernie to do this voice-over, get someone who doesn't sound like the "Candidate X murders kittens" talent and let them speak more conversationally.

7. It's not the speed of the speech I find off-putting.

It's the unnatural emphasis on miscellaneous words to show "concern". It sounds like what it is: a propaganda tactic meant to appeal to the listener's emotions rather than their intellect and it's an instabackbutton for me.

a poor impression of whoever's trying to use it at the moment, so no, it doesn't have the desired effect.
