Hillary Campaign Runs Spanish-Language Ad Ahead of Arizona Primary

by Stephen A. Nuño

Before you could say, "Hillary sweeps Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Florida, and North Carolina", the Clinton campaign was already running advertisements in Spanish to the voters in Arizona, a week before their 85 delegates are up for grabs. A race in which the door is slowly but surely closing any chances of a Bernie Sanders victory, the Arizona election could be the death knell of the Sanders campaign. The candidate was in Arizona on Tuesday and thousands of supporters came to hear his message at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Arizona calls next Tuesday's election a "presidential preference election", whereby party members vote their candidate of choice for the party convention in July. Clinton has done much better in closed primary elections, where only party members are allowed to participate, meaning only registered Democrats will get a chance to decide between Sanders and Clinton in Arizona. Clinton continues to outpace Sanders among Democrats even in states she has lost. .................

Arizona also has a 30-day registration deadline. If you were not a registered Democrat before February 22nd and you want to vote for Bernie Sanders, you will need to sit on the sidelines come March 22nd.

Hillary Clinton's ad titled Valentía, which means courage, begins with an ominous reminder of the political landscape in Arizona, pairing Donald Trump and Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio in the first frame of the video. Joe Arpaio has run a popularity contest based on ridiculing prisoners with gimmicks of pink underwear and housing them in his infamous "tent city", an outdoor detention facility that sits in the scorching Sonoran desert heat on the outskirts of Phoenix. Arpaio, who fancies himself "America's toughest Sheriff", has also made a career off anti-immigrant sentiment in Arizona.


Tim Hogan, Hillary Clinton's Arizona Communications Director, says the Spanish ad is meant to represent Hillary's longtime record of standing with the Latino community. "We are reaching out to all communities in Arizona, including the latino community, and we want to make sure that we are communicating the message of breaking down barriers to everyone", said Hogan. ...................
