Hillary Clinton ‘Super PAC’ to Air First Attack Ads Aimed at Donald Trump
New York Times ^ | May 17, 2016 | AMY CHOZICK and NICK CORASANITI

Posted on 05/17/2016 11:33:37 AM PDT by Bubba_Leroy

The general election effort to take down Donald J. Trump through television ads will begin on Wednesday, with the main “super PAC” supporting Hillary Clinton airing its first two attack ads on broadcast television in four important swing states. The effort kicks off a multimillion-dollar campaign that will flood TV screens in those battlegrounds in the months to come.

The super PAC, Priorities USA Action, had initially planned to wait until after the June 7 primary contests to introduce TV ads attacking Mr. Trump, but accelerated its effort against the presumptive Republican nominee. The group’s $6 million investment includes two ads that offer scathing critiques of Mr. Trump’s comments about women that will run for the next three weeks in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Nevada.

"Trump is a horndog that abuses women!"

No wait, that's Hillary's husband.

"Trump has never accomplished anything in the private sector!"

No wait, that's Hillary.

"Trump has never accomplished anything as an elected official!"

No wait, Hillary again.

"Trump has sold access to foreign governments in exchange for big money contributions to his foundation/slush fund!"

No wait, Hillary again.

"Trump does not have a vagina!"

The negative ads don’t really seem to be working this election cycle. Bush ran millions of dollars worth of ads against Rubio, and Rubio did better than Bush. $80 MILLION worth of attack ads against Trump, and he finishes in first place.

Something tells me that Trump has been inoculated by all the attack ads already run, and by all the Trump bashing on TV, radio and the net. But, I do believe, since Hillary hasn’t really gotten any attack ads run against her so far, that they will be far more effective against her than against Trump.

It’s no problem, since most since most of these spots are designed for those who still sit around drooling in cups while gawking at the choreographed TV propaganda circus. Most of those people watching that garbage are lost souls anyway. Lots of stupid people and not a lot you can do about it. The government loves stupid and ignorant people. It’s a benefit of imported millions from the 3rd world. They make excellent easily led subjects.

All Hillary has is ‘attack’ ads. She can’t make any ‘accomplishment’ ads.

Teflon Don is immunized from such attacks.

I agree. Hillary has lived inside a media cocoon for so long she has little clue to know how to deal with the real world of politics. She's used to simply getting her way as a matter of entitlement or dealing with people that she can intimidate rather than fight with on an equal footing. It's the reason Obama walked all over her in 2008 and why she's having such problems responding to Bernie's weak-tea "attacks".

She's has no idea how to deal with Trump. In fairness, she's not alone there as the entire RNC tried and failed to make a dent in him. It's been said that nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come. The same can be said for the right man. Trump is increasingly demonstrating that he is the right man for this time, and people have already made their decision.

Hillary is going to suffer “Massive Nuclear Retaliation” from Trump. I have the feeling her attacks are going to come off as lame, while Trump’s are going to be professional, and viscerally hit people in the gut.

It’s the classic Clinton strategery.

They let surrogates do the dirty work and feign surprise that anyone could possibly think they would stoop so low.

I agree that he is going to Hiroshima her plus there will be attacks that come at her from numerous other places. Her candidacy can be destroyed before the election putting the Dems in a precarious place.

I think Trump has probably had more vaginas than most guys.

Good...let them spend tens and hundreds of millions.

Like the GOPe before them, they will find they have no bearing...or very little...and will be left scratching their heads.

I’ve seen part of the ad, it won’t move anybody towards either camp.

Just solidifies those firmly believe ‘Trump is horrible towards women’ meme.

After 60,000 plus attack ads on Trump and probably $200 Million spent on them, do these people on Hillary’s campaign really think they will work?

I will say that the best insight I have gotten into Trump and Hillary and their campaign styles, etc., has been the Scott Adams blog, the guy who draws the comic strip Dilbert. He is analyzing this thing from a totally different angle and it is worth reading. Bottom line, Hillary making multiple mistakes and Trump few if any.
