New Hillary Clinton Minnesota TV Ad "New World"

New Minnesota TV Ad Highlights Hillary Clinton's Proven Track Record of Delivering Real Results

From Foreign Policy to Women's Rights, "New World" Shows Minnesotans Why Clinton is Most Qualified to Do All Parts of the Job

Minneapolis, MN — Hillary for America today released its first television ad in Minnesota, highlighting why Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate to serve as our next President. "New World" cites Clinton's proven track record of delivering real results -- from securing a massive reduction in nuclear weapons, to fighting for women's rights, protecting Social Security, expanding benefits for military families, and winning healthcare for 8 million children.

In last night's Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton highlighted her commitment to delivering real results for Americans on a wide range of issues, saying: "I am not a single-issue candidate and I do not believe we live in a single-issue country. I think that a lot of what we have to overcome to break down the barriers that are holding people back, whether it's poison in the water of the children of Flint, or whether it's the poor miners who are being left out and left behind in coal country, or whether it is any other American today who feels somehow put down and depressed by racism, by sexism, by discrimination against the LGBT community, against the kind of efforts that need to be made to root out all of these barriers, that's what I want to take on."

The 30 second spot, part of a six figure buy, is running in the Minneapolis media market.

New Chris Christie TV Ad - "It's A Simple Question"

New Chris Christie TV Ad - "It's A Simple Question"

MORRISTOWN, NJ -  Watch Rick Santorum below on Morning Joe where he can't name even one accomplishment of his new endorsee, Senator Rubio. The exchange highlights yet again Marco Rubio's total lack of experience.
 
Transcript:

JOE SCARBOROUGH: What do you list as Marco Rubio's top accomplishment that made you decide to endorse him?
RICK SANTORUM: There’s is a guy who's been able to number one win a tough election in Florida.
SCARBOROUGH: Can you name his top accomplishment?
SANTORUM: My feeling on Marco is someone who has tremendous potential, tremendous gifts. I guess it's hard to say there are accomplishments.
SCARBOROUGH: Name one thing he's passed?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: A vote?
SANTORUM: The Republicans have been in the majority for one year and one month, of which, as you know, he was running for president primarily.
SCARBOROUGH: Just one, that Marco achieved. Maybe a bill that he wrote.
BRZEZINSKI: Jeb bush ran Florida, Donald Trump built a company. Marco Rubio -- finish the sentence.
SANTORUM: Can't point to him and say "Nothing got done therefore he has no accomplishments." This is a bogus argument.
SCARBOROUGH: All I’m asking is a simple question. List one accomplishment that Marco Rubio has achieved in four years of the United States Senate?
SANTORUM: The bottom line is – there isn’t a whole lot of accomplishments, Joe. And I just don’t think it’s a fair question.
