Back in 1964, Barry Goldwater literally scared a significant portion of the electorate into voting for Lyndon Johnson. His rhetoric was so extreme and hard to follow that a life-long Republican filmed a campaign ad for Johnson explaining why he no longer could support the Republican nominee. Sound familiar?
The video shows an unnamed Republican man confessing his feelings about the election with gravity and regret in his voice. Of course, the title of the video along with the notion that speaking your feelings is a confession is a bit misleading, but we see here something weve been privy to throughout the 2016 election as well.
Heres the ad in its raw format:
