1. Wow....

[kstewart33]

2. Thank you.

Very moving. I've sent your link to my politically minded friends.

Thanks very much.

[uponit7771]

3. Its GREAT because they're using someone else's words and not the candidates who is bias. Its always

... best to use the oppositions words.

[Aviation Pro]

4. I am fucking amazed...

...that any service member supports this five-deferment posing motherfucker.

[liberalmuse]

49. John F Kennedy was refused entrance into the military...

due to his health issues, but he used his family connections to get in, not avoid service. And he became a hero, and was one of our most revered Presidents.

On the other hand, Trump, the vile POS insults our military, POW's and continually weaseled his way out of service. He has earned my contempt. He is one of the most rotten human beings I've ever witnessed. He makes me physically ill, but then again, he has since I first heard of him decades ago. Never could stand this horrible, heinous man and I hope there is karma and it bites him right in his lumpy bum.

[11 Bravo]

5. Damn, I wish Trump had a sense of shame or a conscience!

A fully functioning human being would feel devastated by the quite dignity of that former POW.

[still_one]

6. yes it is. Ironically, John McCain would probably vote for the asshole.

[stevenleser]

43. Yes, he endorsed Trump. He should listen to his daughter.

[still_one]

45. He voted for bush also, even after Rove and Bush trashed his adopted kids through

false push polling and misinformation and lies throughout South Carolina

[stevenleser]

69. I remember. Anyone who did that would be dead to me forever. nt

[still_one]

70. You are absolutely right Steve

[stevenleser]

74. Yup. You want to attack me? Fine. You attack my kids and it's over. nt

[GWC58]

77. Country First my ass!!

[phallon]

7. Thank you for sharing this.

[Sunny05]

8. Powerful!

Thank you for sharing!

[Sunny05]

9. K&R!!! 🚀

Shoot this thing to the top of the threads!

[misterhighwasted]

10. Here is the Video

[DesertRat]

15. Thank you

Incredibly powerful ad!

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Okay, I don't cry easily, but that one got me. It has to be the most powerful ad of the season. nt

[lunatica]

24. thanks! My browser doesn't support the original OP's video

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Yeah. Hillary's ads from this campaign are going to rewrite political advertising for decades.

This ad shows Trump's impact on real people. Straight up and sophisticated at the same time.

It doesn't use that monochrome fright montage so common. It doesn't use that heavy doom music that is also so common.

[Bibliovore]

19. This ad also shows something else there's been too little of lately: Respect for the presidency

"...the most precious office in this country."

[MineralMan]

13. Another great ad.

[Hortensis]

14. Oh,...wow! Mr. Sollender has performed a

fine service once again for his country. How could anyone not be affected by his dignity and conviction, and the power of his memories 70 years later? He had me in tears.

One thing I love about these ads is that although they are attack ads, yes, they are much more. They all push themes of decency, responsibility, respect, honor. Of course Trump has given extremely generously to the cause, but there is no sign, for instance, of the usual snide voice pushing the message home of the typical hit ad.

Instead, these ads all contrast Trump's behavior with a call to the better natures of the viewers, their duty to be role models for their children, to respect our veterans' service and sacrifices, their ability to be moved by simple dignity and honor.

This is Hillary's imprint we are seeing here. The big difference in these ads isn't Trump, it's the woman's focus.

[Gothmog]

16. K&R

[keithbvadu2]

17. Trump's disdain/contempt for our POWs

coming from the Donald who said avoiding STDs was his personal VN.

[nolabear]

20. That's the first campaign ad that ever made me cry.

Oh, my heart.

[Dave in VA]

21. This is my first comment

Thank you for posting this here. If people see this add and still can vote for tRump, then I have to question if they understand the sacrifices that have been made for them to even have the opportunity to cast a vote.

To Mr. Sollender, I am eternally grateful for your service in 1944 and again in 2016.

[BlueMTexpat]

30. Outstanding first comment!

Welcome to DU!

[ailsagirl]

56. Hear, hear!!

Welcome to DU, BlueMTexpat!!

32. Welcome to DU. . . . . nt

36. Welcome to DU!

[underpants]

48. Hi Dave

Welcome to DU.

[INdemo]

52. Thank you for that awsome comment

Sad to say What ever Donald Trump says or does there are thousands of voters out there that will vote for him because he has
an "R" in front of his name and yes that would probably include many Veterans.
I remember a couple days ago seeing Medal of Honor recipients endorse Trump and that was a sad day and a dishonor to Veterans.

[LittleGirl]

62. Welcome to DU Dave

Love your first comment! Hugs.

[onecent]

22. Wow that brought tears to my eyes!!!

[classykaren]

23. Read the comments on there

[Upthevibe]

26. Dave in VA, welcome to DU!

[rtracey]

25. hmmmm

FUCK YOU TRUMP, JUST FUCK YOU......

[ananda]

27. I tell you what ..

.. if this doesn't move people to vote for Clinton, I don't
know what would.

[NastyRiffraff]

28. Okay I don't normally tear up at an ad

Any ad. But this one got to me. Very powerful.

[Satch59]

29. Another amazing ad...

Her ads have been spot on...shows that she is surrounded by really smart and caring people.

Anyone who votes for Trump carries his awfulness with them.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

31. His name was not spoken even once.

Sure, at the beginning they showed him talking, but nowhere in the ad was he referred to as anything other than "him".

Nothing more is necessary.

That's a great approach. From now on he should be depersonalized completely. Never refer to him by anything other than "him". Lower case. The one thing a narcissist cannot abide is to not be acknowledged. The thing most precious to them is their name. Take that away from them and they become insignificant. They become a naked emperor. They become nothing.

[Hamlette]

33. I hope he trashes the vet on twitter....crossed fingers n/t

[anamnua]

37. Probably along the lines of

'this old-timer is senile and doesn't know what he is talking about'.

[lindysalsagal]

34. I certainly hope this runs non-stop for the next weeks in the swing states.

Beautiful man. Still hanging in there. wow.

[anamnua]

35. Awesome

I reckon this will do to the Donald what the famous 'daisy' ad did to Barry Goldwater.

[Bleacher Creature]

38. Why not run this (or some version) as a TV ad?

It looks to be just a web ad for now.

[piechartking]

39. I think they should just spend the $$ and run the whole thing

It would be a nice departure from standard, run-of-the-mill

And I think the campaign could use a jolt in the arm.

[rug]

40. Here's his bio.

http://www.miramarcemetery.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/JOEL_SOLLENDER_BIO.pdf

[Skoods]

41. Yeah

But since it's a 2 minute web ad, about 40 people will see it

[Mc Mike]

42. It has 3300 views here, alone.

[klook]

47. 54,697 views on YouTube in the first two days.

Very encouraging. This one hit me in the gut.

[Mc Mike]

80. Up to 7485 views here, now.

[klook]

44. Here's another bio of this beautiful man.

http://www.sdys.org/newsmedia/ut-san-diego-former-pow-also-unbroken/

We must win this thing for Mr. Sollender. Everything he fought and suffered for is on the line.

[TNNurse]

46. Please put this on the FB page

so we can share it many many others.

[tblue37]

51. That's gonna leave a mark! nt

[Old and In the Way]

53. My dad was on the USS Solomon Isands suppprt Aircraft Carrier.

Took 2 Japenese torpedos to the engine room.... neither detonated. Amazing. Dad was a Engingeer room ensign...both torpedos hit but didn't detonate....wierd for me.

[Akamai]

54. Great follow-up and terrific points made! I believe that in the same and were several other veterans

including a man with an injured face and Sen. Max Cleveland.

I am sure they have their own stories to tell and I sure look forward to hearing them! A very moving and accurate ad.

[byronius]

55. Got me.

Taking out a bunker with a grenade. My god.

Great ad.

[MFM008]

57. Hero vs Zero

It blows my mind thinking, feeling person, or otherwise, can vote for the vile squirming maggot.

[Divine Discontent]

58. zing! So true!

[JNelson6563]

59. 70 years ago...and yesterday (!!!)

Holy shit. Wow.

63. Eh ...

I get it. But Madam Secretary better start building up her own brand, and quickly.

Enough with the negative advertising. Tell everyone what she believes in. Her values. Build authenticity (important). Explain how dems make the nation better. Make people feel good about her.

72. I love that ad!!

Welcome to DU, Madam45for2923!
What does your user name mean? I understand Madam45.
But what does the for2923 mean? Thanks!

[Madam45for2923]

73. 2923 Days!

75. Oh, I see. Sounds good!

[DinahMoeHum]

67. My father (soul rest in peace) was also a WW2 POW. . .

. . .captured in the town of St. Vith, Belgium, not too far from where Joel Sollender was.
around December 15, 1944.

I'm torn.

On one hand, I'm glad he's not around to see this travesty called TrumpleThinSkin spit on men like him and Sollender (and McCain) for what they went through.

OTOH, if he were still around, this ad would have sent him over the edge, if he were not already pissed off at that clown long before.

[Doitnow]

71. Alright, already. I get it.

I've about seen enough of Hillary Clinton-bashing-Trump commercials. He deserves all the criticism that can be dished out. What We the People deserve is a statement once in awhile about what Hillary believes in. She can start with the progressive agenda in the platform the Dems passed at the convention. I have heard total silence. How come? Was that all just rhetoric to get nominated? Bernie can't enthuse his followers to support Hilary if she doesn't give them a reason ----- and talking about Trump is not going to do the job.

[barbtries]

76. watch the speech she gave yesterday.

it was brilliant and chock full of policy statements.
best speech i have seen by her.

by the way i excused myself from a jury so i could come over here and respond to your post

The majority of Bernie supporters will vote for Hillary. The hardcore left who went over to Jill Stein (4%) are not going to be convinced to vote for HRC by a television ad.
