Donald Trump’s campaign released a new TV ad Friday responding to Hillary Clinton wondering why she isn’t further ahead in the polls.

The 30-second ad begins with a clip of Clinton asking, “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead, you might ask?”

A narrator then recites Trump’s presumed answer: “Maybe it’s because the director of the FBI said you lied about your emails,” “because your policies have allowed ISIS and terrorism to spread,” and “because you call Americans deplorable.”

The Trump campaign said the spot will air nationally. The size of the ad buy and how long the campaign planned to air the spot remained unclear.

  1. Why? Because about 40% of the US voting electorate is suffering from severe in-breeding and resultant genetic abnormalities and support Trump…

  2. Is that a good ad? I mean, from a professional point of view? It seems clunky to me. I have seen a lot more information packed into a 30 second slot. I’d say this ad is ok, but the viewer has to be reminded that Clinton IS ahead, which is hardly a good point for Trump to make.

  3. There’s a simple retort to this ad: Just wait.

  4. Last I checked, Donnie, even the 5% (and growing) lead Hillary has over you will still constitute an election landslide on November 8th…

    Meaning, you are, and will be, getting whomped by a sickly, crooked, girl with no stamina…

  5. Here’s a link to an interview he gave to WZZM13 Grand Rapids local news at the Gerald Ford Museum downtown today…See how many lies you can catch him telling in his 3 minute interview…Btw, the tons of people that were there were not there for Donald Trump. They were there for what’s called Artprize, an open city-wide competition of amateur and professional artists from around the world trying to win a half million dollar grand prize through community voting. They most certainly were not there for him.

    He’s now moved onto the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. The Ford family has already shot down his bullshit over moving all their US jobs to Mexico. In fact, Ford Motor Co. has increased their employment of workers at their plants in the US.
