“Mike Coffman has pledged his support to Republican nominee Donald Trump and decided to put his party before hardworking Coloradans. That type of blind partisanship and the lack of moral conviction to stand up to a bully will have consequences at the ballot box,” said Tyler Law of the DCCC.
Dems’ campaign arm launches seven-figure ad campaign over Trump with CD6 targeted

[…]In an election year already defined by headline-grabbing presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the campaign arm of the Democratic Party is launching a TV and digital ad campaign to further link the businessman to down-ballot Republicans.
[…]The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has said they are coordinating a “seven-figure national ad buy” with two ads due to run starting Monday, July 11, and continuing through the Republican National Convention. The DCCC has labeled the move as somewhat unprecedented, given that a lot of similar advertising comes later in the election cycle.
[…]The message of the ads — which come less than two weeks after Coffman’s campaign released its first ad for the 2016 election — highlights Trump and the majority of Republicans who have either voiced support for him or refused to disavow his candidacy. One ad, titled “Standards,” aims to suggest Republicans have put party loyalty ahead of their own standards in accepting Trump as their nominee. Another ad, titled “Sidekick,” likens Republican congressional candidates to “bystanders to the class yard bully.”
[…]Both Carroll’s campaign and DCCC efforts in the CD6 race have sought to tie Coffman to Trump and his policy positions. In particular, a statement by Coffman campaign spokeswoman Kristin Strohm that Coffman “obviously” would support the Republican presidential nominee over Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton has been a main focus for connecting Coffman to Trump.
