Hillary Clinton is ramping up the fight against Donald Trump with her first TV advertisement of the general election, hitting the presumptive Republican nominee for what she terms his divisive rhetoric.

“Today, we face a choice about who we are as a nation,” Clinton says at the start of the one-minute spot, which goes on to juxtapose Trump’s words condoning violence and mocking a journalist who has a physical disability, with a more inclusive message from Clinton, who last week became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

1. K&R!

2. Any Republican who backs their chosen 'Great White Hope' deserves the same medicine.

3. K&R nt

4. "Stronger together" is an ** excellent ** slogan! . . nt

[Scientific]

6. + 1,000

It's a slogan that could be translated into a dozen or more languages.

From The Google:

En conjunto más fuerte (Spanish)

Plus forts ensemble (French)

Strangera tagethera (Bengali)

Nguvu pamoja (Swahili)

Et fortior nobis (Latin)

etc.

7. I don't think it has been used for a major US political campaign.

12. It's a potent counterpoint to the Republican's standard subliminal spew

"Tough noogies for you poor, miserable proles. Pay your taxes so we don't have to. Shut up. Sit down. And blame the weak, sick, and hungry for all your troubles. Hah hah. Stupid suckers."

- Republican Party Role Model Donald Trump*

* the Very Best the GOP has to offer

[Bad Dog]

8. It's a lot better than David Cameron's "We're all in this together."

Seeing as it just wasn't true. The wealthy elite can ride out austerity in comfort.

5. Go after his Racial Profiling, Kemosabe

He'll tweet some more Pocahontas slurs

and some Mexican innuendos

[thucythucy]

9. I hope they feature some of the folks Trump ripped off

building his casinos. Small business people who got stuck and suffered when Trump declared bankruptcy and walked away with millions. This sort of ad worked really well against Romney--in campaigns both for Senator Kennedy and President Obama.

13. This is a great ad

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Excellent ad

It very effectively shows the contrast between Hillary and Trump, using actual videos of Trump's arrogance.

15. How dare she play the "Human Being" Card?
