Clinton campaign going on air in Texas

Hillary Clinton' campaign is going on the air in solid-red Texas, a remarkable move by a Democratic presidential nominee as her Republican rival, Donald Trump, struggles across the country.

Clinton is launching a one-week ad buy in the Lone Star State that highlights the Dallas Morning News' recent endorsement of the former secretary of state, according to a campaign aide. The 30-second commercial will air on TV in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, as well as online. Clinton's campaign did not detail the size of the buy.

When the Dallas Morning News editorial board endorsed Clinton earlier this year, it was the board's first endorsement of a Democratic presidential hopeful since before World War II. The Clinton spot notes the historical significance of the endorsement, going on to quote its criticism of Trump's judgment and praise of Clinton's bipartisan credentials.

"At this moment in time, for Texas and for America, Hillary for president," a narrator concludes.

2. Maybe focus on Ohio instead??

Two recent polls have Hillary down in Ohio. I'd like to see more assertiveness here.

6. Being more assertive, it seems.

9. I expect like here in PA & probably FL & NC

They have already bought up most if not all the air time for ads already, so it makes sense to spread some of that $$ around (which will also help down-ballot Dems).

12. I saw her anti-Trump veterans ad in Ft. Worth in August.

It was running fairly regularly, along with the "blood coming out of her...whatever" one.

8. Texas Democrats have pined for years...

For a candidate who could turn their luck around. Now they're hoping a Republican will answer their prayers.

O irony thy name is Trump.

15. Need big ad buys

on Telemundo and Univision.

10. Wow.

The Hillary campaign internal polling must show Texas is flippable!

Stronger Together!!! Early voting begins October 24th, and I WILL be there!

13. Ohhhhh I hope we get a rally in Fort Worth.

I hate driving to Dallas, but I would. I'd really love a rally here in Fort Worth.

16. I'm so sick and tired of my money going to races in other states.

'Solid-red'? Bullshit.

17. Smart move, IMO.

She wins TX and this thing is over before 11PM EST.

I would def trade TX for OH in the win column.
