Clinton's Newest Ad Shows Girls Looking in the Mirror While Trump Mocks Women's Appearances

Source: Mother Jones




Hillary Clinton released a new campaign video on Friday featuring young girls looking in the mirror, while Donald Trump's various insults about the physical appearances of women play in the background.

"I'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers" and "a person who is flat-chested is very hard to be a ten" are just two of the quotes captured in the ad, which ends with the question: "Is this the president we want for our daughters?"

The powerful new video comes as more Republican women are refusing to back the controversial nominee, while he continues to drive away support from women and minority groups across the country due to his record of making misogynistic and racist remarks.

In recent weeks, Trump's campaign has tried to improve his standing with women, attempts that include the "Trump-Pence Women's Empowerment Tour" and a late-in-the-game maternity leave plan that contradicts his past positions.

who sure don't want them objectified. I got to think this ad will appeal to them.

I love my daughters more than anything. I don't want this pig or his nearly as repugnant running mate to win.

This is a great ad -- it's beyond me how anyone can support this guy.

I would love to see a Trump "failure" ad since so many people think he's such a great biz man.

Something along the lines of showing an image or logo from one of his businesses, and then stamping it with a big red "FAILED" on it. Trump Airlines: Failed. Trump Steaks: Failed. Trump Casino: Failed. Trump Magazine: Failed. Trump University: Failed & Sued...

One after the other until it ends with something about how horribly he would fail our country too...

h..mThey could add what he says certain properties are worth when he's boasting how rich he is and the tax value where they are located. For example, Trump claimed that the Trump National Golf golf course in Jupiter, FL was worth $50 Million. But when it came time to pay property taxes, his lawyers argued it was only worth $5 Million THREE YEARS RUNNING.
