Ho-boy! Bernie Sanders Releases NEW Optimistic Closing Ad in Iowa

The ad comes as polls show that Sanders has pulled even with front-runner Hillary Clinton in Iowa. It will be part of a buy that includes a widely praised spot set to the Simon & Garfunkel song “America.”

The ad hit most of Bernie's platform. Single payer health care, free college, raise the minimum wage IIRC.

I'm impressed with Sander's Ad team. This ad deflty counters Hillary's NOPE campaign and the Rethugs hate campaign.

I love the phrase "American horizon" even more than FTS. That should be the campaign's slogan.

I liked that it quickly surged from the familiar "the system is rigged" stuff to a very positive - poetic - list of what he is fighting for. I love that he includes - grandkids as part of retirement. I love that he is speaking directly to the viewer in a very personable, friendly way. The tone - like the America ad - makes me want to smile.

When was the last time campaign ads made you want to smile -- this is two for two.
