“Let’s be clear, Donald Trump is a lewd, lecherous, lowlife,” McGinty said to large applause. “While Trump objectifies women and while Trump insults women, Katie, Hillary and I believe that we have got to end this disgrace in America where women are making 79 cents on the dollar compared to men,” Sanders said. As Ruby Cramer of BuzzFeed reported, DNC staff were upset that such a move would hurt congressional Democrats in their messaging effort to tie Republicans to Trump. Senate Republicans have been successful in localizing their negative message as well, trying to avoid the cookie-cutter ads run in previous campaigns simply attacking Democrats for their connection to President Obama. Brian Fitzpatrick supports Donald Trump.”The ad might be successful, given Trump’s recent problems, but for now McGinty and other Democratic candidates are taking a different approach.
