New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is turning to a man the presidential candidate won over with a conversation about scripture for their latest radio ad in South Carolina.
Ahead of the Democratic debate in Charleston, South Carolina, on Sunday, Clinton's campaign is releasing "Reverend Hunt," an ad that features Rev. Donnie Hunt speaking about his impromptu meeting with Clinton in May of 2014.
"When I looked up and saw a woman by my table, she gently asked me what was I studying. I said. '1 Corinthians 13,'" says Hunt, an associate minister at First Calvary Baptist Church in Columbia, in the ad. "And what happened next I'll never forget. She said, 'Love is patient, love is kind,' and went on to recite the rest of the verses by heart."
......................The ad, which is targeted to religious African American voters, will air across South Carolina on gospel and R&B radio stations starting Friday, according to Clinton aides. The ad is expected to run between two and three weeks............

This ad will be lovely and gentle. Good for Hillary and her team--thinking and acting ahead for the SC primry.

I do not want to live in a theocracy.

A candidate who can dialogue with them on that, and not feel superior, will do much better.
