There was a time in my life when I was a campaign communications consultant, responsible for helping political campaigns come up with new and intriguing ways to engage voters using digital media. There is a reason I don't do it anymore, and that reason is, because no matter how many times I or any of my colleages explained that most Republican consultants had the pop culture knowledge of 80 year old men and couldn't find a connection to Millennials if they were accosted by an entire room of Urban Outfitters employees, they still produced things like this.
Though, in fairness, no one I worked with ever produced something this terrible. We had to wait for Jeb Bush to waste $100 million on a campaign before we got something this terrible. Behold, the Jeb! campaign's newest whack at Marco Rubio: a LSD-inspired, trippy hit job on his heeled boots set to Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking."

I guess that must be true if you are a Marco supporter.
That was incredibly lame. Of course, so is Jeb! Bush.
And I’m not a Rubio supporter. I just think Jeb! is a turd.
Um, how many people under the age of, say, 50 even remember that song? What a stupid commercial.
Did that come from the same source?
I confess I had a crush on Nancy Sinatra...sigh
those were the days
Funny ad tho...ha ha

Maybe it was meant for the “cool people”?
The song had something of a renaissance a few years ago after Quentin Tarantino used another of Nancy Sinatra’s song in one of the “Kill Bill” movies.
I liked it.
So does their candidate. "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" is, by now, comfortably retro and uncomfortably ironic given the subject. Yeb has had this problem with his campaign team from day one. It's as if they're all trying to run a political operation in a foreign country, which, I suspect, they are.
I don’t think it was lame. Ads these days have to grab your attention. It did that.
I would like to see the outtakes of the guy doing the dancing.
“And I’m not a Rubio supporter. I just think Jeb! is a turd.”
Megan, they’re both turds, but Boosh is proving that you can’t chrome plate a turd either! (or pick on up by “the clean end”)
Based on how the pollsters seem to define likely Iowa caucus attendees, the bulk of them are over 50.
I think Jeb's a nice guy and was a productive governor. But he has got to give up this aspiration. Trump got under his skin SO quickly that Bush lost all leverage.
Ridiculously funny! I’m old enough to remember Nancy Sinatra singing “These boots are made for walking”, but I imagine a lot of voters are not. Now we need a song about “cross eyed Jeb” under that photo of him with one eye turned in, with his cross eyed view of the world. Give it up Jeb...I’d like to say while you have some dignity left, but too late.
I think Jebbi got it all wrong....Cruz is the guy when it comes to boots.
The prime establishment candidate can not get himself out of the gutter filled with rain taxed water.
Give it up, Yeb!
We don’t want to be North Mexico!
