Wow. Just the tip of the iceberg and they only had to use words from Republicans.

(209 posts)Why hasn't the Sanders campaign started putting out GE attack ads against Trump? So far all we know Sanders can do is bad mouth a fellow Democrat just like the Republicans did to their own n this video.

(1,163 posts)Trump, like Clinton, practically take themselves down by their own words and deeds.

(5,214 posts)Hillary uses her unlimited Wall Street and Big Bank's million $$ donations for ads such as these. If you can't tell the difference
elljay
(1,178 posts)you mean pointing out differences in policies and "issues" the fellow Democrat has with Wall Street, foreign policy, trade, and frequent position changes? Badmouthing is different from citing facts. This is still a campaign and he is well within his rights to attack the "fellow Democrat".

(281 posts)is a bunch of losers, literally speaking, (they all lost in the primaries and one in the GE) against trump. I wonder if it will attract the independents. This will be an interesting GE

(209 posts)Using Sander's words about Hillary in a couple months.
Johnny2X2X
(19,006 posts)While Sanders has run a tough campaign, he hasn't even come close to saying these types of things about Hillary Clinton.
Some of Sander's supporters have been posting Republican talking points about Hillary, but Sanders himself has basically said little out of line. His two main points are about her being too close to Wall Street and that she voted wrong to give Bush the authority to invade Iraq. Sanders has run an extremely positive and honorable campaign and if Hillary wins the nomination Sanders is going to do everything in his power to get her elected.
Some of Sanders Supporters have proven that some liberals can be as gullible as FOX News viewers are when it comes to believing totally made up stories about the Clintons.

(5,621 posts)First of all, Bernie has said that Hillary has to earn votes.
Secondly, Bernie supporters, for the most part, use Hillary's own words against her, not RW talking points. I don't even care about most of the Hillary crap out there. I'll take what she says and has done to make my decision on her, and it doesn't look good.

(154,021 posts)but this is not that different from some of the adds that were already run against Trump by Republicans. We know how well they worked. I suspect this election season the rules have been suspended.

(7,170 posts)Or women reacting to his remarks about how you gotta treat women like s---. and how this will embolden the local chauvinist down the road. Trumps STDs as his personal Vietnam? Really?
What Trumps bunch of KKKErs will mean for African Americans.
Piñata GOTV parties for Latinos. Could we take Texas ? If so, game over for Trump.
Importing foreign labor for his hotels and how that impacts local people. A number of those workers are living in dorms.
This ad won't work. No one cares what discredited republican politicians say about him.
Most people don't understand the technical arguments against trump's wall or tariffs.
Trump has redefined politics as a reality TV show. We need to figure out how to be the nice guy winner... All the shows have them.
We had better excite our base to turn out in force. We can not rely on the polls saying Hillary or Bernie is leading. We need to stomp the trump with high impact ads.

(1,668 posts)A giant group of assholes, literally some of the worst people in the US, hates this guy? And that's supposed to make me dislike him?
I'd never vote for Trump, but this ad makes him appear sympathetic if anything.
DaveT
(687 posts)I have no beef with Hillary going after Trump at this stage. In a normal year this kind of thing works.
But all the ad does is quote what Republicans have said about him. So how did that work out when Mittens, Jebby, Cruzie and the rest of the clown car said it in the first place? The more "respectable" people trashed him, the better he did until they all finally quit. Trump does not even have to say it -- his schtick is now really his brand and his supporters will say it for him:
"Who cares what that bunch of losers says?"
Reminding people that the GOP establishment does not like Trump is not going to help the Democratic nominee.
Johnny2X2X
(19,006 posts)This Ad is about swing voters and Republicans who are thinking of voting for Hillary or not voting at all. His base supporters won't care, but there are millions of appalled and reasonably sane Republicans out there who will not vote for Trump. Hillary is going to get all the Dem votes, she's going to carry women and minorities by a landslide, and she'll even win swing voters. Hillary has to present herself as a sane alternative to Trump, run a ho hum campaign, and she wins a landslide and the Dems have their biggest election day in history. The House is in play and this ad is geared towards that.
