Great.

Can we look forward in the future to political ads that feature a soundtrack comprised entirely of fart noises?  :hmm:

Only if Hillary made them.  Then grabon would probably tell you they smelled like flowers.

She made a fool out of herself for making those barking sounds.  Don't fault people for mocking her over it.

The barking was real?!  What was the context.

Sometimes Trump supporters being bigoted and stupid can lead to okay outcomes:

QuoteTrump Voters' Aversion To Foreign-Sounding Names Cost Him Delegates

If Donald Trump somehow falls three delegates short of reaching the magic 1,237 delegates needed for the Republican nomination, he may be haunted by an obscure outcome from the primary voting in Illinois on Tuesday. There's clear evidence that Trump supporters in Illinois gave fewer votes to Trump-pledged delegate candidates who have minority or foreign-sounding names like "Sadiq," "Fakroddin" and "Uribe," potentially costing him three of the state's 69 delegates.

Does this mean she's got your vote?

I'm sure, with the right sort of directional microphone, one could record Hillary actually farting. Then, compose an ad using that sound.  :hmm:

Considering that Jeff Davis was located wearing women's attire, it might have been a queef.

Funny ad but I don't think Trump should be emphasizing the need to be taken seriously overseas.

They're gonna respect him worldwide.  They're gonna have more respect for him than all previous presidents combined.  You're gonna love how much they respect him.  He's gonna negotiate all sorts of great deals for the US.  Just wait and see.  You're gonna love those deals.

He will have the best words. :yes:

Only the contrary, I can't stand her voice = no vote for her.

And they cancelled the debate after Trump pulled out.   ^_^

They should not have cancelled, that was stupid.

They could have had a debate where the two of them sit their and eviscerate Trump.

The barking was real?!  What was the context.

She was talking about some 1980s (?) political ad that ran in Arkansas that used a barking dog to show when the political opponent(s) were making false claims.  She went further to say maybe the Democrats should use a barking dog to illustrate when Republicans were saying stuff she disagreed with.

I understand why her advisers had her do it.  They want to make the case that she is fun. She enjoys fun. She both has fun and can be fun. Fun is a word that accurately describes her and a large quantity of things of which she is fond. She appreciates fun when she encounters it, and she has even been known to partake in activities that produce fun for herself and others. Fun is something she often has when amongst a group of people. In such situations, she is capable of amusing others and, in turn, of being amused by them.

And get shit ratings.  They'd get better ratings showing Megyn Kelly running on a hamster wheel.
