‘Fat ugly face’ and other Trump talk about women spotlighted in new Clinton ad

By John Wagner September 23 at 6:00 AM

A new television ad from Hillary Clinton features some of Donald Trump’s degrading descriptions of women — spoken in his own words — as a series of girls around the age of puberty are shown looking self-consciously at themselves in the mirror.

The 30-second spot, airing in several battleground states, concludes with a question on the screen: “Is this the president we want for our daughters?”

Several previous ads from the Democratic presidential nominee have sought to diminish Trump by using his own words, including one in which he makes controversial comments about veterans. But this is notable for the Republican’s comments about women in a race that includes a candidate who would be the nation’s first female president.

How could anyone with a daughter, or even a sister, see this ad and still vote for Trump?

I don't understand how anyone with a daughter, sister, or mother could vote Republican.

That is so much more true with this asshat.
