New 30 sec. ad airing today in Iowa and New Hampshire: Rigged Economy



A new 30-second television advertisement for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will begin airing on Saturday in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“People are sick and tired of establishment politics and they want real change,” Sanders says in the ad, entitled “Rigged Economy.”

The commercial features Sanders speaking to large audiences at rallies.

“He’s taking on Wall Street and a corrupt political system that keeps in place a rigged economy,” a narrator says.

Sanders’ campaign has been supported by more than 1 million donations, the narrator adds, from “people like you who see the middle class disappearing and want a future to believe in.”

Introduces him and his family, tells what he stands for, shows his popularity with a huge number of Americans. I wish the campaign could afford longer ads but am sure they know exactly what they want to accomplish with each one.

Short, sweet and to the point without droning on and on...people must have their attention caught within a couple seconds, in order to engage them enough to watch the rest of it. It also isn't a slime ad, attacking other ("her&quot candidates...it stays on his message. How long before "she" starts running 3AM Phone Call ads against him? Maybe after MO'M is gone.

Particularly like, Rigged Economy = picture of the Wall Street bull.
