Hahaha this is so good. They actually have the Biff Tannen comparison in there.



Frankly, her ads have been so consistently well executed I really cannot believe that it took debate performances where Trump sniffed like a coke addict and revelations of him being a sexual predator for her to open up a real lead, here.

It's pretty unwatchable, mostly because I find british accents grating.

Hah I think they're Australian. Which is probably worse, really. Anyway, I agree with you, which is why I referred to it as a parable.

Oh right, debate coming up which means Trump is at it again. Patricia Smith, the mother of 2012 Benghazi terror attack victim Sean Smith, has accepted an invitation by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump to attend the final presidential debate this Wednesday. He wants to put her in the front row of course, she says she blames Clinton personally and wants to confront her.

Spoiler!

To me that's PC gone ary vs any kind of ism prejudice thing. That case though isn't the majority. It's the example that proves the rule. If the worst thing in your life was that you couldn't put up Christmas decorations I don't think that's a reason to vote for trump or a cause of people voting trump.

Now a person who didn't get into college because a person through an affirmative action program got in ahead of them probably has a legitamate greivance that would need to be discussed with nuance.

It's not the worst thing but i think it all adds up. PC gone ary is a problem for a lot of people.

Shouldn't be allowed. They need to keep the debates as debates, not try to create a sideshow.

It's dumb, but it's even dumber that Trump actually thinks he can rattle Hillary. But I'm guessing he assumes everyone is as immature as he is, so in his messed up mind it could work. If anything it probably has a higher potential to backfire on Trump than it does of hurting Hillary.

Sure but Trump needs it to be a sideshow rather than a debate. He has to continue to set the bar low for his performance. That's all this is about. Doing stupid things on the eve of the debate to lower expectations.

Couldn't Clinton take the opportunity to sit down one on one with the mother and discuss the grievance and steps that have been taken to try to ensure it doesn't happen again? At worst she continues to be hated by this woman (rightly or wrongly) but gets good press for being human rather than robotic. At best the mother softens her tone and Clinton gets even better press for being human and for the inevitable tantrum Trump will have while he insults the mother on twitter.

I think to me that is why the bullying ad is a good one for Clinton. It shows a more caring and human side of her that is not often on display. She took the question seriously, engaged the girl for further details and why it's important to her and gave a strong answer. That plays well with younger voters and mothers. It helps solidify the gap she has established in those demographics and motivates them to get to the polls. Well honestly, most of the Clinton ads have been good because rather than a typical attack ad which can take things wildly out of context, they are playing actual clips of things he says and does that are in context.

This will backfire on Trump in the same way that bringing Bill's mistresses to the 2nd debate backfired. To borrow a quote from that SNL skit, Hillary is made of steel. This won't rattle her in the least.

2nd Project Veritas video is now up. They discuss large scale voter fraud and how they can make it happen. After the first video went live, Foval was fired immediately.
