Trump Ad: Clinton Not Tough Enough
The Hill ^ | March 16, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 03/16/2016 11:40:19 AM PDT by KyCats

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is targeting Hillary Clinton in a new ad, portraying the Democratic presidential candidate as not tough enough to handle major foreign policy issues. A 15-second video posted to Trump's Instagram account shows Russian President Vladimir Putin showing off his martial arts skills and a masked militant pointing a gun at the camera.

"When it comes to facing our toughest opponents, the Democrats have the perfect answer," the video says, cutting to a clip of Clinton barking like a dog last month when she taunted Republicans.

Putin cracks up in Trump's video before text appears back on screen, stating, "We don't need to be a punchline!"

Trump last month had decried what he called a double standard over Clinton's barking, calling the former secretary of State a "joke."

The candidates are sharpening their barbs at one another on the heels of victories in several big states on Tuesday, including Florida. Their respective delegate leads make Clinton and Trump the leaders for their respective nominations.

Clinton on Tuesday night criticized the billionaire on waterboarding and panning his potential to represent the U.S. on the international stage.

"Our commander in chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it," Clinton said, knocking Trump's plans for "rounding up 12 million immigrants, banning all Muslims" from the U.S. and embracing "torture."

"I think she's an embarrassment to our country," Trump shot back during a phone interview Wednesday morning on CNN. "She's under federal investigation. She doesn't have the strength or the stamina to be president."

How is deporting illegals and banning terrorists “embarrassing”?

Clinton Not Tough Enough

Like Ward, she was a little tough on the beaver last night.

Hillary has never been in a real fight. She has never had to defend herself against an opponent like Donald Trump and she has always enjoyed the protection of a liberal media that was too willing to ignore all her baggage. bThe media will not be able to protect her this time.

"We don't need to be a punchline!"

That eliminates The Donald right off the bat.

Muslim leaders won’t even shake her hand, as a woman, let alone negotiate with her seriously. Besides, consider their jackets on her.

Strategic ads ridiculing Hillary can be very effective.

He’s just getting started.

I LOVE this ad. It's short, sweet, funny and drives the point home. Trump is a media genius and NO ONE has been prepared for this sort of campaign. He's a master of the social media and visual cues.

Limbic techniques, such as "the wall", building the wall, making it higher, a door in the middle, are all visual cues that are easy to remember.

This ad does the same with the sound of Hillary barking and Putin laughing. Really really good.

Trump has been looking forward to this and has been neutering the MSM since day one.

Now both the MSM and Hillary are sitting Duck's for Trump's attacks.

MSM can circle the wagons around Hillary, but Trump, unlike McCain, Romney, Bush I, Dole and Bush II, will unleash flaming arrows, boulders and a buffalo stampede.

When she did her barking routine, she should have known it would come back at her in the form of an opposition ad.

Her recent denial of any deaths associated with Libya will also show up in ads, even though the context for her statement might be iffy.

"Great ad, Ridicules Hillary"

It's a good start. Eventually the ads need to spin up their mockery of Satan's daughter by mirroring her as the lying, rapist-enabling, murdering traitor to the United States that she is.
