The top 5 campaign ads of the 2016 election cycle

From a U.S. Senate candidate assembling an assault rifle while blindfolded to the plea of a politician's wife, here are some of the most creative political ads this year.

[PaulDoe]

Don't care if Gerald is Republican or Democrat. That ad was hilarious. Should be the number 1.

[iyoutubeperson]

That Gerald Daugherty ad is what interviewers expect when they ask what your weaknesses are.

[fyutffdtuibgfetu]

The winner is Gerald hands down, non negotiable.

[isavin]

Gerald ad was like a teaser for a new TV show pilot--really funny

[jackfenn]

"Please re-elect Gerald, (PLEASE)!" Helping your husband win re-election is okay and understandable, helping him this effectively is PRICELESS! (And cheap!) Seriously, this guy (and his wife), are the best politicians money cannot buy.

[procrastinatinginsomniacs]

So many of these were so painful and then there's Gerald. Gerald, I love you.

[stevenwillett]

Anyone that makes a Gerald ad has my vote. I don’t care about your platform at that point; the commercial alone makes voting worth it

[YourLocalFarmer]

I liked the last one. It tugs at your heart strings a lot

[monkeybusinessasusuall]

The NRA should stay out of politics. It was never meant to be a group of lobbyists, it was a group of people who would give lessons on how to safely use a gun. Now it is different.

[commandslk]

"Will my Son have a place in your America..?" voice of Captain Khan's Father is to me, stronger than a Patriot missile.!

[kimdotnet]

wow CBS, this was suprisingly... balanced.

[toria]

Jason Kander should have become Missouri's Governer. Now that Missouri experienced Greitins, the republican moral disaster, we don't ever want anyone like Greitins on a ballot ever again. Mo knows, Kandor has always been the credible choice.

[RainMan]

Jason Kander had the best ad, as a Trump supporter his riffle assembling really impressed me

[tulip]

that first one was the most baddass thing I have ever seen

[dutchvanderlinde]

People who live in houses that large and nice are out of touch with most Americans. We need to stop electing people like this to any office.

[BabySonicGT]

the gerald one is the best and most creative

"I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery." -Thomas Jefferson






But wait, there's more!

"No free man shall ever be debarred from the use of firearms." -Thomas Jefferson

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -Thomas Jefferson

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

"To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them." -George Mason

"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers." -George Mason

Etc, etc, etc. Gun laws don't disarm criminals they only disarm law abiding citizens and increase crime for the criminals are nearly 100% confident their victims are unarmed and emboldened, by gun control, to commit more crime. An unarmed man can be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man

[montymole]

I am going to become a citizen in Travis country so I can vote for Gerald

[utubecenseorstruth]

I had not seen the captain khan ad. I wonder if its because the father is a muslim and they thought it might not work? I don't know, but I am sure there is a reason they did not use it

[kalledakingas]

Bernie's "America" ad deserved to be in here.
