    As a left-leaning voter, I'm negatively biased against this ad. However, I believe its harmful for a host of other reasons. There are a number of arguments being made for why the viewer should vote for Trump (increased jobs, tax breaks, etc.). Yet, there is no evidence of how he will accomplish this. Additionally, the ad is very manipulative with its use of pathos. It begins with an image of Hillary Clinton followed by sad pictures and somber music. This is an attempt by the Trump campaign to get the viewers to make negative associations with Clinton.
