When yesterday we showed Donald Trump's first long overdue Hillary Clinton attack ad (which starred Jihadi John, a laughing Putin, and a barking Hillary) which had a simple message "we don't need to be a punchline", we predicted that it would "resonate." It did, and within hours had accumulated several hundreds thousands views.
Many wondered how long until Hillary's response. They didn't habe long to wait - earlier today, Priorities USA, a pro-Clinton SuperPAC, on Thursday came out with its own attack ad mocking Trump.
Hillary's attack ad is shown here.
The oddly unimaginative, almost carbon-copy clip uses the same footage and wording as Trump's, until cutting to a Trump interview with MSNBC from earlier this week.
"Im speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain, and Ive said a lot of things, Trump says in the clip, which ends with the same punchline as that released by Trump a day earlier: "we don't need to be a punchline"
The ad follows with a shot of Clinton laughing. It is unclear precisely why the footage was taken from the 11-hour Benghazi hearings in October: perhaps it symbolizes Hillary laughing at her devastating foreign policy which led her to defend herself in Congress against accusations her actions led to the death of Americans in Libya.
What is clear is that the as Trump and Hillary increasingly duke it out against each other, this will be the most entertaining election in recent history.
As a reminder, this is the original Trump attack ad released yesterday.
We'll let readers decide which attack ad is more memorable, and respond to the rhetorical "is this who we want." As for the U.S. "not wanting to be a punchline," sadly it's too late for that, which incidentally explains Trump's meteoric rise in the polls, one which even JPMorgan has noticed ...
The World's Smartest Woman took the bait!
She has the worst laugh ever.
Wondering where that laughter clip of her is from.....probably asked a very serious question and rather than incriminate herself, laughs at the questioner.
Hmm, seems like a pro-Trump ad. ;-)
that laugh? It’s GOT to be a Trump mole that made that ad!
So Trump looks funny, smart piece produced with a wink and a nod. Not too serious, makes the point.
She looks petty and bitchy. No one ever liked the kid in the schoolyard who was the ‘Oh yeah, well I’ll show you’ kid...
Trump +1.
Lots of rude and crude word clips out there to replay on Trump, not so many rude and crude action clips.
Rule #1 in politics: Always play offense. Defense ALWAYS loses the day. Hitlery is playing defense. #Trump2016
Trump does really good ads, but Hillary has absolutely no imagination...
And this is going to knock out Trump? ROFLMAO....you got to get up early in the morning to beat ‘The Donald’ and she doesn’t have it!!!
Honestly, that was like Rubio trying to attack trump.
Next Trump ad ought to be that same footage of her laughing at the hearings interleaved with images of Benghazi. Trump is going to be very good at goading her into mistakes like this.
All Hillary has done is bring more attention to the original (and actually funny) ad Trump put out. You don't go to Trump's turf and duke it out ...just ask "little" Marco. But hey, I welcome her come backs as they will only serve to weaken her. She's not naturally good natured like Trump so everything she does in response will be tortured and contrived and her phoney cackle will ultimate do far more harm than good. (cough ....cough ....cough)
I’d vote for Trump over Hillary! or Mad Uncle Bernie.
But it is pretty sad that any of them are serious candidates.
“The ad follows with a shot of Clinton laughing. It is unclear precisely why the footage was taken from the 11-hour Benghazi hearings in October”
“Wondering where that laughter clip of her is from.....probably asked a very serious question and rather than incriminate herself, laughs at the questioner.”
I haven’t seen it myself but the article says the laugh is from the Benghazi hearings.
Hillary rubbing her slimy teflon skin in our faces...
Wow, that was a good ad right up until the witch like cackling... Lol. What an out of touch wench, she will turn people’s off with that grating laugh.
True.
I agree.
Trump, unlike the other candidates isn’t going to pull his punches against Hillary.
