3. airing in seven battleground states and on cable.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-campaign-video-hitting-trump-comments-women/story?id=42297907&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_hero_headlines_headlines_hed

The Clinton campaign continues their strategy of attempting to use Donald Trump's words against him. Today, the campaign begins airing atelevision ad in seven battleground states and on cable.

According to Hillary Clinton's team, the intention of the ad is to show the effect "Trump's hateful rhetoric towards women is having on our daughters."

The ad cuts between images of young girls starring into the mirror overlapped with video of Trump's comments about women.

"I'd look at her right in that fat ugly face of hers - she's a slob - she ate like a pig," said Trump during what appears to be an interview.

That comment is followed by the Republican nominee, at a different time, saying "a person who is flat chested is very hard to be a 10."

When the ad wraps, text appears on the screen reading "is this the kind of president we want for our daughters?"

The video begins with an image of Hillary Clinton hugging a young girl she met in Keota, Iowa during the primary who told Clinton she was bullied because she has asthma.

Hillary For America says this ad shows how Trump stands in contrast to Clinton's career "fighting for and uplifting women and girls," something they say she'll continue to do if elected president.

"starring into the mirror"? Don't they teach proofreading in journalism school?

the target is undecided women, and women thinking of voting third party.

the target is suburban white moms.

all part of Trump not being "PC" and telling it like it is. Using words that others won't.

Frankly it has amazed me that neither Trump, his spoxers nor most of his followers haven't gone on racist rants all over the place using the most common and most vile of racial slurs.
I really wonder if they can keep it contained for the next 5 weeks as things grow heated.

If this pulls off 5% of his women voters, he's sunk.

Fabulous, simple ad. No way to spin or misconstrue it.

They are motivated by vengence against the status quo, the goverment, political correctness, uppity people of color and women, the rich and beautiful people, for their unhappy and miserable lives. They want to tear down, hurt, threaten, bully, and hit everything they perceive as better, richer, luckier, smarter, etc. Very ugly minds. Deplorables. They are the breeding ground for Fascism.

It's hard enough to grow up in this country without a misogynistic pig polluting the airwaves with filth like that.

Trump doesn't have a shred of decency in his body.

This is the most powerful ad yet.

Jesus taught us to feed the poor, heal the sick, practice peace and tolerance, and to love thy neighbor. Do they take the parable of the Good Samaritan deeply to heart? If not, are they truly Christians? I think you know the answer to that.

Not surprising at all considering the way the Christian Right sees women as property having less rights.

I don't think people appreciate how close the Christian Right is to the Taliban. If not for our country being a Liberal Democracy there is zero doubt they would be cutting off the hands of shop lifters, stoning women who commit adultery, and beheading women in the town square who showed independent thought.

This morning. She and her commentators did a great job covering this. I advise you go over and watch it.

I also suggest that if any buddy knows of Trump supporters, you send them this ad and remind them that he is talking about their daughters their sisters their wives there and their mothers.
