The Democratic nominee needs to get dirty in 2016

I would like to see an ad with the following:

---Planes crashing into the WTC on 9/11
---A picture of Bin Laden laughing
---Video of Colin Powell at the UN saying Iraq has WMD
---Video of the bombs being dropped on Iraq in 2003 along with pictures of maimed and dead US soldiers (gruesome, but war is hell and reality needs to be shown)
---Pictures of the US torture chambers at Abu Graib
---Bloomberg/CNBC video describing the financial market crash of 2008

Then caption saying "Remember the last time a Republican was President?"

Followed by a picture of GWB reading My Pet Goat.

People were saying the same thing in 2008.

Obama ended up winning two terms.
