Clinton campaign going on air in Texas

Source: Texas Tribune

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.

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

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).
