Hillary Clinton's $2 Million Television Ads: All About Her Mom
ABC News ^ | 08/03/2015 | By LIZ KREUTZ LIZ KREUTZ More From Liz ยป Follow @ABCLiz via GOOD MORNING AMERICA

There's one person Hillary Clinton really wants the voters of America to get to know more than anybody else. And her name is Dorothy Rodham.

Dorothy is Clinton’s late mother. She died in 2011. But she's playing a starring role in her daughter’s presidential campaign, and is the focus of Clinton’s first television ads.

On Tuesday, Clinton’s campaign will begin broadcasting two TV ads in Iowa and New Hampshire. The one-minute spots, which will air over the course of five weeks, emphasize Clinton’s mother’s story over her own.

The first ad, titled “Dorothy,” is almost completely devoid of any discussion of Clinton’s credentials. Instead, it's focused on recounting her mother’s trauma-filled childhood.

Clinton, who narrates the story over old photos of her mom, describes how her mother is the person who most influenced her desire to fight for families and to run for president.

“I think about all the Dorothy’s all over America who fight for their families, who never give up,” Clinton says while video of a mother tucking her daughter in to bed plays. “That’s why I’m doing this. That’s why I’ve always done this. For all the Dorothy’s.”

The mute button is very strong here.

This is the Dorothy who named her hideous daughter after Sir Edmund Hillary.

That is the best I’ve ever seen Hillary look in recent years - even with her fake eye color.

so because Hillary’s mother had a difficult childhood, and was helped quite a bit by the charity of others, we should elect Hillary president????

Because Hillary’s extended family going back to that generation was dysfunctional, we should elect Hillary president??

Yes, before he climbed Mount Everest.

LOL!!

Who else could her ads be about? Certainly not herself.
Her polls are down around her ankles!

No one wants her. Not even Bill. She has eschewed any and all help from him, daring not to risk additional fall out from his own cadre of political gaffes and occasional scandalous escapades, while out with the girls.

Hillary IS desperate and this 2 million dollar expenditure proves it. She is trying just to keep her donors! Nevermind the lagging interest of Democrats who are begging for ABH, anybody but Hillary.

Yes, that was my first reaction. What does her mother have to do with her “qualifications” to be POTUS? I’m still waiting for someone to come up with an accomplishment by this woman (aside from marrying Bill). There are none.

Hillary always has an arrogant, superior demeanor. Even her walk is like that. Or is it that I just detest the witch.

I had almost forgotten that hideous mother of the bride dress. Looks like she bought it from the Disney outlet store.

But I will say that in the Dorothy video there is a strong resemblance between Chelsea and her grandmother when she was young.
