Trump's first attack ad...

[Nightshade]

...on Hillary. 15 seconds and distilled perfectly for the ADHD (low information) voting public.

I at least gotta hand it to his marketing guys on this one.

Doesn't look official to me.

[Top Gun]

If it is real, it's the saddest thing I've ever seen.

[woodchip]

I'm with Putin, I think it's hillalarious. Funny when the vids demean your hero, your panties get in a bunch.

I've seen better attack ads from Harper.

Hero? Who are you talking to? No one on this board supports her.

[Ferno]

He's whining about Obama again.

meanwhile, in serious news:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pos ... art-trump/

looks like a growing number in the Grand Old Party are willing to sacrifice the 2016 race in the hope that they can clean up the mess that the Donald has made of their party(see Time magazine op-ed piece this week). Chuck Schumer put it well, addressing the Senate Republicans, now starting to have second thoughts about the SCOTUS pick: "they have tied their party inextricably to Donald Trump, and while Trump will NOT make America great, he will make the GOP the minority again"

Trump has not made a mess of their party, the GOP has done the damage to itself. Trump is the canary in the mine and the GOP are too stupid to see the warning. The GOP doesn't get Trump and neither do you...sadly.

arguably completely true, and I at least agree with you. Reaping what one sows is more my take, I suppose. I was, above, merely quoting the
GOP old heads I've heard. They blame Trump, but the whole matter isn't really ABOUT Trump, it is about the cadre that follows him, who the
Republicans nutured for years, figuring they could keep them under 'control'. It could be said that the Dems risk the same with their far left
wing(hint--Obama isn't it, nor is Hillary), but at least they have specific ideas and ideology and a plan, whether one agrees with it or not.
That makes compromise and unity possible. Plus, I don't think the leadership really stoked that wing, its more that the far left membership
had expectations of things no one ever suggested party support for. They expected Obama to be for more aggressively progressive and pacifist
that he proved to be in office, for instance(you think YOU ★■◆● about the Peace Prize? hoo-boy).

oh, I get him, Woody, and that is why I want no part of him. It is the idea of elevating bluster and incompetence as some sort of protest about government by people that don't really understand the roots of their own malaise. I figure we probably don't agree on this point.......

This is what you don't understand slick, I for one am not voting for Trump the man, no more than you are voting for Hillary the woman. We are both voting for what they represent. In Trumps case we will have someone who will not play to the PC crowd, who represents a anti-established politico, who looks more than any candidate as a force to shake things up. And lets face it, the system needs a good shaking up to get the cobwebs out. Both parties do. Unfortunately both the Dem candidates represent the same old same old way of doing things.

In my view a vote for Hillary is a vote for the typical lying, cheating, lets see how much I can use the system to line my pockets type candidate. I suspect slick one reason you are so anti-trump is all the "donations" you made to Dem political hacks and want desperately to see some return on your "investment". Otherwise how can you rationally say you would vote for Hillary over Trump? Time to clean the slate and get someone in who isn't beholding to special interests (just read up on the Clinton "crime family" foundation).

[callmeslick]

so supporting a vague idea of 'strength' by supporting a wannabe dictator willing to play to racists and thugs is the way forward? Not really.

[woodchip]

Better than supporting a platform of divisiveness and cronyism. And Hillary has her own cadre of thugs. Just ask any of Bills abused women.

oh, please. That BS has been largely debunked 20 years ago.

Trump is the epitome of special interests. He's a wheeler-dealer who has openly contributed to both parties when it suited his personal interest. That's not a character trait I envision in a president. As far as Mrs Clinton goes, there is no contest, IMO. Her resume is fantastic and as much as I don't particularly like her I still think she would do a good job.

I hear the Russians aren’t too keen on this ad, they say it puts them in a bad light…

[callmeslick]

there goes the Putin bromance.
