Clinton ad: Trump a bad role model for kids

By Sophie Tatum and Dan Merica, CNN

Updated 7:42 AM ET, Thu July 14, 2016



Washington (CNN) ..............................

An ad released Thursday morning by the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign Thursday morning strings together some of Trump's most controversial moments while children watch on television. "Role Models," slated for television and paid digital ads, will run in Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, New Hampshire, Iowa, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina.



Set to somber music, the ad features clips of the presumptive Republican nominee that have drawn scorn over the past year. There's Trump boasting that he could "stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody" without losing voters. And his June 2015 campaign announcement referring to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" bringing crime and drugs across the border. Also footage of Trump at a rally moving around his arms in a way critics said was meant to mock a reporter with a disability.


"Our children are watching. What example will we set for them?" text on the screen reads before tossing to a video of Clinton delivering a campaign speech.

The ad drives at a potential weak spot for Trump with voters -- his demeanor. A June Bloomberg poll asked likely voters if Clinton or Trump "would be a good role model for children." Clinton won support from 52 percent of those asked, while 25 percent said Trump would be a positive role model for kids, and 21 percent said they were "not sure."

Role models and demeanor ads do nothing IMO . Too easy to turn around on Hillary.

This ad should be shown in ALL of the states, again and again.
As a role model, the candidate is UNDER the bottom of the barrel.
