When push comes to shove, they will vote for him not because they like him or think he is the most qualified but because they detest Hillary with a passion.

I am a liberal and I would never vote for her under any circumstances and I assure you I am not the only one who feels that way. I know several people like myself who have voted for Democratic candidates repeatedly who will not vote for her.

The crying shame, if we lose this election, is that there are several well qualified candidates like Tim Kaine, Mark Warner and others who would have attracted the votes of quite a few moderate Republicans as well as independents against Trump. Instead we are all set to nominate a candidate who is polarizing, is distrusted by the majority of the electorate including many Democrats and has changed her positions repeatedly over the years.

Trump's whole appeal is that the losers in the establishment GOP don't like him. Why highlight that those losers don't like him?

LOL! No, it is not obvious. She is part of the WE who wants to put them out of business. That is the true context. So, she is trying to cover up by "helping" them. They want jobs-and they like the jobs they have.

Its a curious ad. I wonder who the target market is...Dems will like it, but they are not voting for Trump and it will make the Republicans base more supportive of Trump. Sound bites of attacks on Trump from people the republicans base has resoundingly rejected and think of as the problem will actually strengthen Trump. So what is the purpose of the ad...to make democrats feel better? its really a waste of resources. The time and money could have been spent better else where.

1. To remind Republicans who are fence sitting about rallying around Trump (that is about half of all GOP primary voters - True Cons, NeoCons, moderates, etc) about what is wrong with Trump, as voiced by their own 2. To let any Repubs and Repub leaning independents who have not been paying attention know how bad Trump is, as voiced by their own 3. To pressure the GOP leaders to not endorse Trump, or else look like fools. 4. To put Trump back on the defensive - not let him bask in "rallying around"

While Bernie supporters and independents are like -- see Hillary has always been in bed with neo cons, true cons. Hillary is raising money now from the never trump folks.

Is Hillary really a progressive when many #Iamwithher right wing nuts support her? This ad just reinforced that Hillary is another neo con -- she is not that different from Bush.

Your characterizations of HRC say a Hell of a lot more about you than they do about her.

The line about coal miners was taken out of context - she was explaining why we need to do more for coal country.

Suggest you go listen to her original speech. It was not out of context. Yes, she said we did need to do more for the miners--but she wants to end the coal jobs--that much is clear. You are listening to her later spin.

And a lot of people agree with her on the need to shift away from coal.

I sort of liked Jeb. Too bad his last night made him unelectable.

However, what rhetoric do I despise more?

"What difference does it make?" (whether she lied about the cause of the attack at Benghazi)
"putting coal miners out of work"
blaming husband's infidelity on "vast right wing conspiracy"
setting up a private server and putting nation's security (and soldiers) at risk for "convenience"
"We're going to get the people who caused your son's death" (blaming the people who created the video
and,
how about "dodging sniper fire" when there was a public welcoming committee handing her flowers?
"Reset" with Russia

there's more--this is just what comes quickly to mind. All of these sound bites would make great ads against Hillary. And, while I detest Trump's words and attitude, Hillary's words are lies to the American people that involve her own behavior--or that of her husband. And, these are just statements she has made--she has also made some pretty awful decisions.
Her style and public demeanor may be more restrained--but her decisions and attitudes are just as bad-or worse. One need look no further than Libya.

I say all this as someone who is very disappointed in the outcome of the GOP primary.
