One day ahead of the third GOP presidential debate, the super PAC backing Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Priorities USA, is launching its biggest ad buy yet — a $1.5 million campaign attacking the Republican candidates as “Wrong for Us.”

..................

The first ad begins with footage of Trump bragging about posing on more magazine covers than any supermodel, and cuts to a screen that reads “Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination...for President. You may be asking, how did the GOP get here?”

...........The spot ends with Trump telling Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in an interview, “this country is a hellhole.”

The ad makes no mention of Clinton. But Barasky said it “highlights the disturbing fact that the Sharron Angle/Todd Akin mentality has permeated the GOP mainstream, and candidates with equally dangerous philosophies are now the best that today’s Republican Party has to offer.”

So far, Priorities USA, which says it has secured about $40 million in contributions, has spent mostly on digital ads. It has placed just one six-figure television buy so far, a two-day cable run in the first four nominating states that aired before Clinton’s Benghazi Committee testimony.
