‘Daisy Ad’ girl is back – and says Trump poses a nuclear threat
Meet Monique Corzilius Luiz.
[T]he “daisy girl” from the iconic 1964 political ad for former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s re-election campaign, has reemerged — to support Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Or perhaps more accurately, she’s opposing Republican candidate Donald Trump.
“The fear of nuclear war that we had as children — I never thought our children would ever have to deal with that again, and to see that coming forward in this election is really scary,” Luiz says in a minute-long ad featured on the Democratic presidential nominee’s Twitter. “Vote for Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8th. The stakes are too high for you to stay home.”
The ad features footage from an August episode of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in which host Joe Scarborough said Trump, in a meeting with “a foreign policy expert on an international level,” thrice asked why he couldn’t take a smoke-’em-if-you-got-’em approach to nuclear weaponry.
Watch the ad, via Twitter:

Keep nukes away from the trumpster for the same reason you keep sharp objects away from small children.

He thinks his closed apartment will keep the ozone from his hair spray out of the atmosphere. He probably thinks there’s such a thing as a “limited nuclear strike.”

Thank you for sharing Hillary’s e-mails/twitter with US. I’m sure we’ll all be on the crooked fbi director’s watch list in 3…2…

Well rump was listed in the “Economist” magazine as one of the top ten threats to the world. He was placed #6 and is the first single human ever to be put on this list. He would call this a “win”.
