| 0:00.0 | If Democrats could have constructed a candidate in a laboratory designed to do two things this fall, |
| 0:05.4 | those things would have been one, lose dramatically to Hillary Clinton, and two, destroy the |
| 0:09.7 | conservative brand at the same time, which begs the question, was Donald Trump actually |
| 0:14.5 | constructed in a laboratory by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Barack Obama? |
| 0:19.2 | Polls show Donald Trump will lose by double digits to Hillary Clinton. |
