One thing I love about these ads is that although they are attack ads, yes, they are much more. They all push themes of decency, responsibility, respect, honor. Of course Trump has given extremely generously to the cause, but there is no sign, for instance, of the usual snide voice pushing the message home of the typical hit ad.
Instead, these ads all contrast Trump's behavior with a call to the better natures of the viewers, their duty to be role models for their children, to respect our veterans' service and sacrifices, their ability to be moved by simple dignity and honor.
This is Hillary's imprint we are seeing here. The big difference in these ads isn't Trump, it's the woman's focus.
