Clinton makes bold TV move into traditional GOP territory

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is unleashing an on-air assault on her counterpart, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Clinton and her super political action committee are spending more than a million dollars in ads that will hit Southwest Florida next month.

She's reserved air time in eight states considered to be prime battlegrounds for November's general election, and the ad buys suggest she's venturing into traditionally Republican areas -- and not as concerned about defending her Democratic strongholds.

Her supporters love it.

The new ads depict Clinton’s life and the things she has stood for through the years as First Lady, a U.S. senator, and secretary of state.

“It highlights all the good things she's done,” said Yoseph Tedros, chairman of the Lee County Democratic party, who suggested the ads are aimed primarily at independent voters.

... was close to flawless. She's hit all the right notes at exactly the right time. Her campaign's on-the-ground organization has been incredible.

I am truly excited to see this all unfold and expand as we head into November.

Stranger things have indeed happened! Trump's support outside of the racist, bigoted, angry white males is lackluster at best, and "terrified" might be a better description. Hillary can generate the excitement and motivation to GOTV across broad demographics, and I am counting on that to take her over the top.

Hillary Clinton's primary campaign was professional, effective and, (dare I say it?), grown up. She spoke about issues with knowledge, clarity and empathy. She wasn't condescending but she expected us to be intelligent listeners. Her team is first rate and reflects the years of preparation Secretary Clinton has invested for this run.

Her campaign will be the polar opposite of what we can expect from Donald Trump.

I damn sure would like to see some changes here politically.

Hillary has a plan, she's going to be playing offense instead of defense.

I love seeing Hillary's pic up there on tv with "Decision 2016"!

"The first one there gets the best spot"! they're on it.. that's our Hillary!

"She's not going to be an easy person to beat and she's not going to be a push over
".. coming from a repub strategist.

"Hitting airwave July and August"

"Throw out the history books.. throw out the script"..
Hillary will be making so much Herstory!

Thank you, William.. that was really exciting to see.. like we've gone into the GE Portal Now!

I'm in New Jersey and we are over the top for Hillary here. Bernie even never mentioned our state and we understood when Hillary had to campaign in CA because she knew she would win here by a landslide.

I predict that Hillary wins over Trump in my state by over 20%...

No ads needed!

mlet of them untrue and/or exaggerated, that have been reported ad nauseam by the MSM. I can hardly wait for her to hit the campaign trail. Look at the lineup she has to draw from. Pres. Obama, Michele Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and, hopefully, Bernie Sanders, to name a few.

What they showed on NBC was a tantalizing glimpse; it looks brilliant!

Agreed that she has a smart, focused campaign going
