I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible.

I can honestly say that Hillary Clinton’s political ad‚ “Mirrors”‚ works very well in that it clearly expresses the message that Donald Trump does not have the highest respect for women.
