Not the point, but i think you already know that.

Many left supporters always tout that Trump has "no chance" in the general, but never really give any reason as to why they believe that to be true. They say because he's sexist, megalomaniac, racist, etc (sure those are reasons, but the same could be said about many leaders)...I suppose this ad embodies many of those characteristics and i could see how it could be very effective against him. Do you think ads like this and others will obliterate him in the general?
Will he get through this just as he has gotten through everything else so far? Does the potential "good" he may bring on the business side outweigh the "bad" of his words/attitude?
Stole this ad from another post, but thought it was worth its own discussion as this is what we can expect heading into the general.
I'm thinking he may be in deep doo doo if this is just the tip of the ice berg of what could come up against him. Most of the clips in this ad doesn't even go back that far.
Trump supporters won't care. There will be four types of voters come November:
Trump Supporters
Anti-Trump
Clinton Supporters
Anti-Clinton
Independents won't vote. They just won't. They'll see the choices and just stay home.

TRUMP: The 45% tariff is a threat. It was not a tax
Republican Debate in Miami
CAVUTO: Mr. Trump, sometimes maybe in the heat of the campaign, you say things and you have to dial them back. Last week, the New York Times editorial board quoted as saying that you would oppose, "up to 45 percent tariff on Chinese goods."
TRUMP: That's wrong. They were wrong. It's the New York Times, they are always wrong.

It will have some sort of impact, it would be foolish to assume everyone will look at those comments and dismiss them for whatever reason.
Perhaps our bigger issue her is not just the ads expected to go after Trump's character and background, but the counter to that going after Hillary's character and background. Assuming for a moment that it does end up Trump vs. Hillary with no other significant 3rd party candidate then things are shaping up to be quite ugly across the board.
For a while there I assumed that scenario would lead to a very low voter turn out giving Hillary the slight edge, but now I am still considering the option that many vote and mainly out of fear of one or the other. Hillary still has that slight edge nationally (going over the polling averages available,) but it still looks to be a campaign season we will be talking about for a long time.
In this case we literally would see a woman go up against a Republican with an arguably terrible background in relation to women given that ad example. But that is just one flavor of what to expect, as at the same time we get to see a career politician, Wall Street insider, DC insider, and Establishment power supported Democrat go up against a vocal, unpredictable, Wall Street / Real Estate Billionaire, and Anti-Republican Establishment candidate. There are more levels to this as well, and not a one of them is any legitimate interest in economics or the Middle and Lower Classes.
I would say get the popcorn handy, but we may all be crying by November saying "is this the best this nation has?"
I agree with all but the bold, independents will vote, seems like everyone wants a piece of the action this year. Do you think ads will matter this election? Or will debates and speeches sway the most voters? Or maybe something else i haven't mentioned i suppose.
Trump? Honest?
You're kidding, right?
First, he claimed he would tax imports from China
Then he said it was not a tax
Then he denied saying it
I mean it is a threat and a promise depending on how China responds isn't it? It can be both at the same time.
I don't think it will matter what is said or where. I think Trump and anti-Clinton people will vote for Trump. I think Anti-Trump and Clinton supporters vote for Clinton. I think, independents stay home.
Possibly, but it can't be a tax, not a tax and "I didn't say that" all at the same time.
He throws out ideas, and "journalist" try and corner him on his statements even though he constantly reminds them that you have to be flexible, willing to walk, and be unpredictable at times.
Sure. The point being, however, that ads like the OP will probably prove effective at turning independents into Anti-Trump voters.
I think Trump will prove more effective at that that ads ever could
First, why the quotation marks? That's the point of a journalist when interviewing a political candidate is to review the statements made by said candidate.
Second, those attributes are literally some of the worst possible features for the leader of a sovereign nation that expects to make international agreements that rely on predictable actions, and especially a willingness to abide by previous statements and agreements.
