A Hillary Clinton billboard saying "I told you so" would be pretty sweet. Especially in the red states.

But instead of mealy mouthed W's "do you miss me yet?" I think it should be a new message each month, something like,
"The Republicans you voted are taking away your Medicare. Now what do you think of them?"

"The Republicans defunding of Planned Parenthood is responsible for a ___% rise in maternal and infant deaths in your area. Now what do you think of them?"

"The Republicans you voted for are taking away your health insurance and leaving you with nothing. Now what do you think of them?"

"Depend on Social Security? The Republicans you voted for are taking it away from you. Now what do you think of them?"

"Depend on Medicaid? The Republicans you voted for are taking it away from you. Now what do you think of them?"

"Remember when the Republicans promised you a job? They just took XX jobs away from this area by XX action. Now what do you think of them?"

etc.

You can't get them by radio, you can't get them by TV, so get them in their drive and hit them over the head with it.

I will try a letter writing campaign to Schumer to put it together, and if he doesn't pick it up, I might try to crowd fund something.
