Hillary Clinton is prepping the first stages of an all-out assault to define Donald Trump as a misogynist, especially in key battleground states across the country.

The Clinton campaign has made significant ad buys in the key swing states of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia — hoping to define Trump as both a man unfit to be commander-in-chief and a man who is anti-women.

“Trump himself is a much greater force of personality who will be exceedingly difficult to ‘Romnify’ because he will hit back even harder.”

The move signals the Clinton campaign’s desire to use her resources advantage in terms of campaign cash to define the contest early. Trump’s campaign has not made any major ad buys or reserved any air time in swing state media markets since he became the GOP presumptive nominee.

The ads hit the airwaves early Thursday morning and seek to paint Trump as someone with a penchant for violence and sexism. Clinton’s camp also is launching more ads which promote her as family-oriented, in the latest an effort to show Hillary’s elusive “softer” side.

One of the biographical spots, entitled “Always,” asserts Clinton has been a career champion for women and children.

“Recycling debunked falsehoods about her biography won’t make voters forget that Hillary Clinton is still facing an FBI investigation into her illicit email server,” said Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Short, “[Clinton’s] corrupt family foundation took millions of dollars from foreign governments that oppress women and help support terrorism.”

The major ad buys from Clinton’s campaign come on the heels of a leaked and stolen 211 page Democratic National Committee report that exposed the party’s opposition research on Trump — and the Democrats’ strategy to take down the presumptive GOP nominee.

“Our experts are confident in their assessment that the Russian government hackers were the actors responsible for the breach detected in April and May, and we believe that this release and the claims around it may be a part of a disinformation campaign by the Russians,” said a DNC official in a statement.

The leaked documents betray the DNC’s strategy to paint Trump as a liar and a man who is only loyal to himself through his dealings both in his professional and personal endeavors. “One thing is clear about Donald Trump — there is only one person he has ever looked out for and that’s himself,” said the document.

“This DNC hacking exposes a predictable strategy as it’s essentially recycled from a similar effort by the Obama campaign to negatively define Mitt Romney in 2012,” said Tony Sayegh, a Fox News contributor and executive vice president of GOP consulting shop Jamestown Associates.

“Back then, the DNC game plan was outlined in a memo titled ‘Kill Romney,’ which ironically was also leaked to the press,” Sayegh said.

The document highlighted the moniker Democrats hope to permanently affix to Trump: “misogynist in chief.”

No doubt, Republicans expected Democrats and Clinton would look to their tried and tested “War on Women” rhetoric to some extent in the 2016 contest — but to hinge the entire anti-Trump strategy on the female issue is not without risks.

Trump has proven he is ready to blast Clinton’s complicit role in her husband’s many alleged incidents of sexual misconduct, calling the former president “the biggest abuser of women.”

“That is not to say the Democrat’s attempts to assassinate Trump’s character will not have some effect,” Sayegh said, “I suspect it will be more largely limited in its effect because the electorate this year is equally critical of Hillary Clinton’s character and much of what the Clinton campaign will say about Trump has already saturated the campaign news cycle.”

“Most Trump voters support him for better or worse. Also, let’s not forget, Trump himself is a much greater force of personality who will be exceedingly difficult to ‘Romnify’ because he will hit back even harder.”

Trump suggested Wednesday that the DNC may in fact be the party responsible for the leak — not the Russians. “We believe it was the DNC that did the ‘hacking’ as a way to distract from the many issues facing their deeply flawed candidate and failed party leader,” Trump said in a statement. “Too bad the DNC doesn’t hack Crooked Hillary’s 33,000 missing emails.”
