"Too Liberal" - Attack Ad Against Bernie Actually Makes Me Want To Vote for Bernie

64. Yes, it is effective for Bernie. That is what Ricketts intended.

Ricketts, being a right wing loyal Republican, wanted to help Sanders to weaken Hillary. Ricketts knows Hillary would be the more formidable opponent in the general election and was trying to get the weaker candidate (Sanders) elected.

Claire McCaskill ran similar "attack" ads in the GOP primary to help Todd Aiken because she knew that nut would be a weaker opponent in the general election. Her ad called Aiken "too conservative" and listed a bunch of stuff conservatives like. The dumbass GOP primary electorate fell for it and she got a general election opponent she was able to soundly beat, especially after Aiken popped off about how women who are raped can't get pregnant because the can "shut that whole thing down."

Ricketts tried to pull a McCaskill. Fortunately, Ricketts' ploy did not work in the Dem primary. The Democratic electorate is a lot smarter than the Republican electorate.
