This Hits Home: Devastating New Hillary Ad About Donald’s Impact on Children




By Peter Daou
July 14, 2016


My young daughter inadvertently caught a snippet of a Donald Trump speech, and for days now, keeps asking: “Daddy, do they really chop people’s heads off on Christmas and do they drown them in cages? What will happen if there’s a President Trump?” She can’t unthink the images Donald put in her mind, which is why Hillary’s new ad hits home for me.

The conventions are approaching, polls are tightening, and Donald Trump is less than 4 months away from an opportunity to bring bullying, bigotry, ignorance and division to the White House. Meanwhile, our national media get giddy at any hint of trouble for Hillary, programmed as they are to undermine her candidacy.

Kevin Drum sets the scene:

Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, foreigners of all stripes: they’re all grist for Trump’s crusade to convince white voters that they’re surrounded by rapists, murderers, terrorists, and assorted other predators who want to take their jobs away and impoverish them. It’s his whole campaign. This is loathsome.

President Obama was right: America is not nearly as divided as the media makes it seem. But the only way for Donald Trump to win is to make it seem otherwise. That’s what he’s been doing for the past year, and the media has been playing along the whole time, exaggerating existing grievances where they can and inventing them where they can’t.....

And there is so much more they could have shown.

Remember the clip of Trump acting as though he is going to pull his pants down? That was so disgusting. I only saw it a couple of times - possibly on DU.

That man is such a poor role model for children. We are teaching our children that they should expect assholes for leaders. That leaders boss people around and do whatever it takes to get their own way. That leaders don't care about anyone else but themselves. They are learning that the way to get ahead in life is to be a jerk. Electing Trump will teach our children all the wrong things.

I'm glad my kids don't see this stuff on regular basis because we only have Netflix in my house. Other people do have regular tv so their kids are seeing this crap on a regular basis.

I expected to hear this as an introductory voice over but didn't. Does that mean we don't see the whole ad?

Made the more so because it isn't just campaign rhetoric. Trump really is a toxic man to whom our children should not listen.

Really goes to the heart of how shameful it is that Trump is actually running for president.

and I have been around a long long time. Play this ad over and over and over and over again until every American has seen it several times. Donald Trump is scum and we must do everything in our power to stop him from becoming president.

These types of ads should resonate with decent Americans. Of course there is a faction on the Right that thinks our children need to be terrified, but the rest of the country sees this.
