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

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.
