2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOMG. I love this new Trump ad.
When I heard Trump was running an ad about the basket of deplorables I got a little worried. After, all he could make it seem like she was looking down on half the electorate if they edited it together right. But they didn't! The ad includes the part of her statement that clarifies that she means the racists, sexists, etc.
Who the hell is this supposed to appeal to? Everyone is aware there are at least some of those in Trump's camp, and it puts the lie to the ad's conclusion that she was insulting hard working Americans. Nope, according to her own words, in Trump's ad, just the racist and sexist ones.
This ad will appeal to no one that wasn't already a hardcore Trump supporter. Heck it may even work in Clinton's favor.

Spread the word! This could really hurt his argument and possible lead to her resignation. That would be wonderful if he had to get a 4th campaign manager

My wife works in advertising and thought it can only be interpreted as a shoring up the base ad.
