Politicians have been using anything possible to edge out their opponents, publicizing every mistake in the form of commercials, photos, and social media. Arguably one of the biggest mistakes Hillary Clinton made is the scandal of her personal email and over 31,830 deleted messages. Leaders and politicians argue that Clinton put the country’s national security in danger by sending and receiving classified information over an easily hackable personal email address, and lying about it. Donald Trump, the republican candidate, has been using this scandal to exploit Hillary’s negative attributes and the potential effects that can arise having her as president. More specifically, Trump and his campaign team dedicated an ad titled “Betrayed” solely for the purpose of addressing this concern.
