Clinton Releases a Brutal Anti-Trump Ad And she gets Republicans to do the dirty work for her.

With Ted Cruz and John Kasich out of the race, Donald Trump has become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton's campaign wasted no time switching to general election mode, releasing a web video criticizing Trump. But Clinton didn't do it in her own words; the ad is a compilation of unkind things Trump's fellow Republicans have said about him during the party's nomination campaign.

It's harsh. Mitt Romney calls Trump a misogynist, Marco Rubio claims he's the most "vulgar person to ever aspire to the presidency," and Jeb Bush says Trump needs therapy.

It looks like the Clinton campaign isn't going to let any of the #NeverTrump Republicans forget that stance anytime soon.



Update: 9:30 pm ET, May 4, 2016: Hillary has released a second ad that is even spicier than the first.

This is the guy they'll vote in instead of a Democrat. This is the guy for whom they'll act as curling brushers, making sure his path is smooth, by voting for Jill Stein, who hates the Democrats more than she hates the Republicans.

Well, we'll work our @sses off to make sure that doesn't happen, even if many BS supporters would rather destroy the country to save it.

When they were Bernie supporters they were just left wing bullies. Now that they are helping and endorsing Trump, they are the enemy.

were never Democrats to begin with but Libertarians or Libertarian-leaning Independents. These folks can safely come into DU to support Sanders while trolling Clinton and other Dems at the same time under the guise of "revolution."
