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.
"I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain, and I’ve 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 ...
I just looked at the add, and wished I could post on it. “Was her laugh the answer to the question, was Benghazi actually a botched kidnapping?” We have loads of questions that we can insert for that laugh.
Cruz supporter here but will vote for the Big Giant Head if he's the nominee.
Both of thes ads are terrible. They need The TD Cruz media team.
First she copies Bernie Sanders and leans harder to port then she copies Trump. She really did learn from dear leader Obama how to lead from behind
P.S. It may just have been my computer. I rebooted and I think it works now.
This was so pathetic it was funny.
The dummy printed on the screen, “I have a very good” then the next frame, “good brain” while Trump only said good once. Does anyone proofread?

That’s the best they could come up with? She proves she is a punch line.
Hillaryous Rotten Criminal will need government comedians on the late shows to work overtime for her. The Clinton Foundation might have to file for bankruptcy. The live performances v Trump will be devastating.
Judging from the YouTube views and votes, so far she is getting schlonged..again.
My poor Radio in my Truck is abused now ... anytime BHO voice comes on I smash the OFF Button.
If Hillary succeeds I will rip it out of the dash and fling it
