One thought to keep in mind, Rob Reiner, Carl's son, knows how to make a 90 second commercial. This is a brilliant ad and it catches you right away. Not too long, easy to understand. all about "lies." I posted this version because for some, You Tube might be easier to get to and watch..(it was for me) This was originally posted by dflprincess yesterday in the General Discussion forum

I think this ad is the best I've seen to motivate voters! Since we're less than a week form voting day, I believe this ad just might snag the voters who are able to be snagged for a Dem vote next Tuesday!

Carl says, American people being lied to every single day,"lies about climate change, "lies about protecting Medicare and Social Security,lies about Russia, lies about protecting people with pre-existing conditions, America being destroyed by racism, fear mongering and lies.....

What is most important is this, who is the greatest liar in America today?..Donald Trump

And everyone knows it. This commercial never mentions Trump by name, but describes him. He is the liar in chief.

So, what this says, if you want to defeat the lies, (that is defeat Trump) ....Get out and vote.....

It doesn't say who to vote for, but if you want to defeat those lies, my guess is not to vote for the Republican Party.. Why? The Republican Party supports the liar in chief...

Last idea, this 96 year old man who many people know, or know his son, seems to be telling the truth in this commercial. Yes, America is being destroyed by lies about "climate change, Russia, people with pre-existing conditions.. That is the truth, so who is it that lies so much?..We all know the answer, even if the name is not mentioned.

If a 96-year-old man says it, I believe it. He's been through alot of crap over the years.

I couldn't view the twitter version; this one works.

Carl Reiner says a lot in a short time, based on a long time of personal experience.
