Bernie Sanders "America" ad. I wish Ron Paul produced this four years ago, and it made me yearn for the Paul campaign and the youthful enthusiasm.

It's definitely my favorite. I love Simon & Garfunkel.

No substance whatsoever, Paul Simon, three (possibly four) non-white people (yes, I counted), and acting like huge rallies are a legitimate reason to vote for someone? Yep, it's a Sanders ad.

Seriously, what about this ad would make an undecided voter support Sanders other than "Oh, it's stirring, and he loves America, just like I do"?

You can't even compare it to the Ted Cruhz getting a million dollars from the Goldman Sachs which is the Fed.

Amazing choice in music, although I don't consider myself a Simon and Garfunkel fan. At the very least, this is much better than Audit The Ted and Cruz's Duck Dynasty ad.

There haven't really been that many notable ads this cycle, and this doesn't really stand out that much either. That said, it's a simple and clean ad with a great song choice combination with the videos and images shown.

It's a good ad. I wonder if the choice of music was to try and inspire older voters who are more of Clinton's base. Is he trying to remind aging hippies that he is the revolution of their youth?

Extraordinarily disturbing to showcase his maniacal cult like that. These people terrify me.

And yes, if Trump specifically showcased the 3 minorities in his crowd like that, he'd be getting called out from all angles.

Martin O'Malley might want to use a Simon and Garunkel song in his ads

I didn't know Democrats also saw America as just being made up of white people, too.

It's an okay ad, but the best? Probably not. The most amazing? Audit the Ted is a shoe-in, but not in a good way.

Ron Paul was too busy pocketing donations into his wallet to run campaign ads.

I thought it was a bit odd how crowd sounds awkwardly pop up yet we never hear Bernie speaking.

i beg to differ, he had some pretty good CGI:

If I didn't know who Bernie Sanders was, I'd be tempted to assume this was a Republican ad given the sheer number of rural/small town locations pictured and demographics therein.

Kasich's original "For Us" ad was pretty good, as was that SNL one of Ted Cruz's. This might be third.

Sanders needs to learn how to either make music the background with a voice-over, or as harmony with a voice-over, or a mixture of the two(like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mILEkcrHvQ ).

Voted yes, but I still think the Kasich one calling Trump a Nazi was the best. Or the Cruz Christmas stories ad.
