The article,"In Visceral Ads for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Does All the Talking", from The New York Times, written by Nick
Corasaniti, explains how Hilary Clinton uses Donald Trump’s voice in her campaign
ads to persuade her audience of how evil Trump's words can be. He also explains that the tactic
in the campaign was used in three separate ads, focusing on how three different
groups might respond when shown some of Mr. Trump’s more caustic comments from
his days as a reality television host and personality. The three different groups
they used were veterans, young children, and recently young women. I agree with
Mr. Corasaniti’s argument that it was a tactic used to shock and appeal to
emotion. During the Clinton campaign she felt the only way to break through was to
paint an alarming portrait of Mr. Trump, a very different approach. Mr.
Corasaniti reports how Clinton has spent more than 20 million on three ads with
Trump’s voice, and also that Trump has spent more than 15.8 million on the ads
for the general campaign so far. After these recent ads and the Presidential
debate Clinton’s monthly polls have ascended, showing the ads have worked in
her favor, but Trump’s monthly polls have not been effect, surprisingly. A very
big question among many is whether they will actually move ballot
numbers among the swing voters. Many people, including Mr. Trump, have
questioned the impact of the political advertisement used in this election
cycle, especially when two people who are already well known to the public are
the main candidates. I agree with Mr. Corasaniti’s when he said, “The Clinton
ads have clearly struck a chord, but not always a positive one.” (Paragraph
20). I would advise you to read this article, watch the campaign ads, and form
your opinion on the matter. Leave a comment below if it strikes your attention.
