A stark white background. Unfamiliar faces. Now-familiar phrases reducing women to their body parts. Priorities USA, the Democratic “super PAC” supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, is kicking off its advertising for the general election on Wednesday with a new ad, titled “Speak,” that usesDonald J. Trump’s own statements against him to depict him as a misogynist and unworthy of the White House. It is strikingly similar to a commercial broadcast in March by Our Principles PAC, a Republican group that sought unsuccessfully to derail Mr. Trump’s march toward the party’s nomination.

Hillary Clinton’s allies, seeking to drive up Donald Trump’s already sky-high negative ratings among women, unveiled a tough new ad hitting the presumptive GOP nominee with his own comments.

Katie Zezima, Washington Post – May 2, 2016

The ad for Democrat Conner Eldridge, titled “Harassment,” opens with the word splashed as it would appear in a dictionary, then cuts to clips of Trump speaking about women. “She ate like a pig,” Trump said in one clip. “I’d look her in that fat, ugly face of hers,” he said in another. The ad then defines harassment and cuts to more of Trump’s past comments.

Rachel Ehrenberg, Science Direct – February 26, 2016

The analysis of political ads from the 2012 and 2010 U.S. Congressional elections, published last year in Political Communication, revealed that the choice of narrator in campaign ads indeed reflect gender stereotypes associated with various issues. (Shocker, I know.) The research also revealed that while a female narrator voiceover is perceived as more credible in certain contexts, campaigns ads overwhelmingly use male voiceovers to convey their message.

Ted Cruz Coaching His Family Through a Campaign Ad Is Awkward as Hell

Brian McManus, Vice – December 3, 2015

By law, super PAC’s aren’t allowed to coordinate with the political campaigns that they support. The law has produced a number of absurdities in the campaign finance system, one of which is the campaign practice of quietly uploading raw footage of the candidate onto public sites like YouTube, so super PACs can legally use the material in their own ads. The hope, of course, is that no one will notice the videos. But CNN’s Chris Moody did, stumbling on hours raw footage from a Ted Cruz campaign ad shoot.
