Rate Mike Bost’s second TV ad

Posted in:

* Press release…

Congressman Mike Bost’s campaign has released its second television advertisement of the 2024 election cycle this week. The ad, titled “Secure America,” will air district-wide on cable, broadcast, and satellite television, as well as on streaming services.

* The ad

* Script

“Border agents are calling this the worst they’ve ever seen.”

“Not slowing down the surge of people walking in on foot. The situation just continues to get worse.”

ANNOUNCER: “Conservative Mike Bost is fighting to end the crisis.

Bost stands with President Trump to finish the wall.

Hire more agents to secure our border and provide them with the latest technology.

And stop the cartels’ flow of deadly fentanyl.

Conservative leader. Mike Bost. Gets results.”

BOST: “I’m Mike Bost and I approve this message.”

  1. a) it’s a special kind of insane that a representative from Illinois has decided to make an entire commercial about the Mexican border, but

    b) judging from exit polls of Republican primary voters, it’s their top concern no matter where in the country they are, so it’s the right kind of insane.

    Also notably referring to Trump as “President”, just to get the extra J6ers without having to say it.

    It’s an A.

  2. “Hire more agents to secure our border and provide them with the latest technology.”

    That takes money the republican’ts refuse to appropriate.

  3. ===Hire more agents to secure our border and provide them with the latest technology.===

    if only he were in a position to draft a bill and persuade the Speaker to hold a vote on that bill…

  4. That font is straight out of a 80s VHS cover featuring Arnold or Stallone. The faux machismo these jokers love to pretend they have would be amusing if it wasn’t so dangerous.

    Just yet another Republican running on perfidy.

  6. It’s a “C” at best. He hits on the themes that resonate with his voters but gives his opponent the ammunition to say what have you been doing?

  7. Utterly predictable. C- at best.

    Wasn’t aware that migrants were being sent to this district.

    Comment by Gravitas Tuesday, Jan 16, 24 @ 12:47 pm

  8. It is a district A. Hits all of the usual bullet points.

    F in the thinking world.

    By the way, the fentanyl is coming in on boats, truck, planes, and submarines. Not in backpacks with border crossings.

    So hire people to inspect commerce and have the navy do more to support the coast guard.

  9. Rate D
    Stopping the flow of fentanyl should be placed earlier in the spot. From the New England Journal of Medicine, in March 2022 overdose fatalities from fentanyl reached 110,360 deaths.

    At least, Bost isn’t charging out of his house with an automatic weapon and shooting a tree like his opponent.

  10. Most turn themselves in right away and would like asylum. Not sure how a wall will prevent them from coming.

  11. F-

    What about the meth labs in your district?

    Arent there some roads/bridges/schools that need work?

    It’s still early.

  13. Cops in Unform with Government equipment always seems wrong. Seems tp put Officers in bad spot So
    “F”.
    Wish Bost would emphasize “Veteran”

  14. He paid someone for that ? Must’ve had a coupon .

    Comment by Stormsw7706 Tuesday, Jan 16, 24 @ 3:34 pm

  15. So many dog whistles so little time.

    Comment by Ted Tuesday, Jan 16, 24 @ 6:00 pm

  16. Mike Bost, always all talk, no action.

    Comment by Lordy lordy Tuesday, Jan 16, 24 @ 6:57 pm

  17. Are those real law enforcement officers? On duty?

    Comment by Anyone Remember Tuesday, Jan 16, 24 @ 7:42 pm

  18. It’s an A because he’s got the money to burn in the message. Meanwhile, Beatle Bailey is still hollering on his Facebook wall everyday to the same 3 or 4 thousand people.
