Donald Trump has turned a Barack Obama campaign ad from 2008 into an attack on Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The presumptive Republican presidential candidate sent out a tweet that included an Obama campaign video from 2008, when he ran for the Democratic nomination against Clinton.

In the video, an announcer says, "Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected."

The video noted that Clinton, when she was a New York senator, voted for George W. Bush's war in Iraq. It concluded by saying, "Hillary Clinton. She'll say anything and change nothing."

Obama endorsed Clinton for president, and opponent Bernie Sanders has promised to work with her to defeat Trump, according to The New York Times.

I rarely agree with President Obama- however he is 100% correct about Crooked Hillary Clinton. Great ad!

Same as it ever was...

It didn't cost him anything dollar wise.  Maybe he can reuse all of Obama's ads.

No doubt this is what his campaign thinks of as an effective ad campaign.

Makes sense. Why spend money on ads when he can recycle old ones and when he's low on cash and he needs the funds he's now raising to pay himself back the money he "loaned" his campaign (the money he said he's forgiven but won't provide any proof of having done so), a large portion of which he spent paying his own businesses. Winning!

You don't think other politicians don't borrow against their investments/businesses and pay THEMSELVES back?

It's a common practice.

That’s not what I was talking about. Apples to kumquats.

The article you posted was regarding whether Cruz properly reported loans he made to his 2012 Senate campaign, $1.43 million while not disclosing that some of that money, around $1 million of that came from a margin loan from his and his wife’s Goldman Sack account and borrowing against a line of credit from their Citibank account. So note these were loans against secured assets not unsecured bank loans.

And the loans were reported but on a Senate disclosure form, not on the FEC filing, which Cruz said was an oversight and would be amended if the FEC requested.

Trump has loaned money to his campaign and disclosed them. Nothing wrong with that.

The Trump campaign paid companies he owns for services, to the tune of $6 million, nearly 10% of his total campaign expenditures.  Nothing wrong or illegal about that but is unprecedented and raises some ethics questions. 

Romney, Forbes, Perot and Bloomberg, also wealthy men, all loaned or donated personal funds to their campaigns. But they didn’t spend campaign funds on their own business enterprises, standing to personally profit from campaign expenditures such as Trump would should he not forgive the campaign loans and pays himself back from campaign contributions. 

If he does not convert the $43.5 million he’s loaned his campaign so far to a contribution, something he recently said he would after the details of his last FEC filing was released, but has not yet made good on that promise, then he can use campaign contributions to pay himself back his loans but he and his companies keep the money and the profits on the campaign expenditures.
