Confessions of a Republican

This "Confessions of a Republican" ad from the 1964 presidential election is going viral, thanks to its uncanny relevance to Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign. Snopes wrote about the ad in a recent piece, and provided some historical context, and rated it 'true.'

Heh, I suppose we have some of the framework for a Hillary ad, or for Bernie if he pulls an upset.

I became a little obsessed about this video when I first saw it in my feed.

I could not quite place the actor, but knew I had seen him somewhere. In a way he looked like a little proto George Will.

But after some Google-fu, I was able to IMDB him and realized he was the Dad in War Games.
