Obama Will Appear In Closing Spots for Senate Candidates

“President Obama has recorded a remarkable number of personalized television commercials for down-ballot Democrats to air across the country during the next two weeks,” the Washington Post reports.

“It’s a stark contrast to 2014 and 2010 when many congressional Democrats only wanted the president to raise money and not stump for them.”

How dare these down ballot candidates associate themselves with a popular Democratic president. Please save us Debbie.

I was shocked that even the conservative Chicago Tribune endorsed Tammy.
