GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump released a new ad that exposed just how corrupt Democrat rival Hillary Clinton really is. In less than 60 seconds, the video highlighted some of Clinton’s biggest lies and most embarrassing remarks.
The ad began with Clinton speaking during an interview talking about the “Hillary standard” and the “standard for everyone else” — an obvious reference to FBI’s decision not to recommend charges be brought against the former secretary of state’s mishandling of classified information.
The video also showed a clip from Clinton’s testimony during the Benghazi investigation where she so famously asked what difference it made how the four Americans died in the terror attack at the American compound on Sept. 11, 2012.
It’s a good ad. Epic? Not really, but it’s good. I know, bloggers like hair-on-fire headlines.
Me too. All I have seen are Hillary ads. Maybe that is why Hillary is as high in the polls even though Trump attracts much, much larger and enthusiastic crowds.
Indeed. It needs to be airing coast to coast in high rotation in all major media markets and nationally on cable. If it is just being seen by his followers on twitter and facebook that’s basically useless. He is not waging a living room campaign for the Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Judge Judy, etc. viewers that are not following him on twitter, etc. and Hillary is aggressively waging this living room campaign and has been doing so for months without any competition.
Well if that’s true this time around it’ll be a first. When you have the opportunity to be on the air with your own message without as much clutter or competition, that is when you strike. Trump let that opportunity pass on by and allowed his opponent to seize the territory. Waiting longer is when the airwaves are oversaturated with many more competing messages dampens the long term effect.
If Trump’s positives were at least tied with Hillary’s own abysmal numbers this race would be over. A good over the summer media marketing campaign could have achieved at least that and perhaps more...ads with testimonials from his family, etc. painting him in a positive light with companion ads reinforcing Hillary’s own negatives would have put her away. Now she’s still hanging around - and his unforced errors haven’t helped, either.
The votes of unenthusiastic voters count as much as enthusiastic voters...crowds are good, but ultimately irrelevant.
They are still absorbing the messages, though, even if they aren’t “paying attention.” Ceding an avoidable advantage to your opponent is never a good strategy.
What shallow analysis.
Crowds are categorically NOT irrelevant, because they're a strong indicator of voter enthusiasm; and the side with the advantage in voter enthusiasm invariably gets more of its voters to the polls.
So while "the votes of unenthusiastic voters count as much as enthusiastic voters", there will ultimately be far fewer of unenthusiastic voters at the polls voting for Hillary.
I can't believe all the hand-wringing I'm seeing on FR tonight.
Everyone loves to say how phony and propagandist the Media is, and then they turn around and respond to everything as if the Media suddenly has regained its integrity.
Not only is that not the case, but the entire nation now knows it; even so-called low information voters.
As long as Donald Trump keeps the People focused on Crooked Hillary, her Complicit Media Cheerleaders, and the real problems facing this nation, Hillary will get crushed by the gaping disparity in voter enthusiasm.
Voter enthusiasm for Hillary is not going to suddenly improve. She's toast.
Vote Trump!
Not bad, Sargon, not bad at all!
CA....
Trump knows markets. He knows demographics. He can anticipate shifts as well as anyone.
He knows politics. He's been around the power elite for a goodly part of his adult life.
Most importantly of all, he has the keen knack of being able to keep an ear close to the ground. Out of all the candidates for president this year, Trump is the only one who hears that proverbial "cry in the wilderness" that threatens to become a deafening crescendo.
Where was everyone else?
More to the point, where is everyone else? Home. They were tone deaf. Not Donald Trump.
Trust me - Donald Trump knows exactly what he's doing.
CA....
Memorial day has come & gone bud!
If a person is doing an inordinate amount of drugs and alcohol that may not yet be a reality to them.
Email these ads to your mother/grandmother. My mom has an email group that she sends everything she gets from me to, full of other seniors who send out to their friends, etc.
Labor day is the one in September - Memorial day is near the end of May.
UNLESS the ads are to be filled with the WIKILEAKS Hillary emails!!!!!!!!! That would be playing chess instead of checkers.That is why the media is going for the kill now,they did the same to Perot.
