Degree Antiperspirant Bernie Sanders Joke Ad
We see Bernie Sanders address a crowd of young Democrats at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia, like he did today, and when he says we must all elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, the crowd erupts in a deafening chorus of sustained boos, hisses, and cries of: “No!” Then we hear Bernie’s voice in a voiceover, and he says: “Enraging your supporters by telling them to vote for a dishonest, corrupt politican, in fact the one who conspired with the DNC Chair to cheat and betray your own campaign with corruption and smear tactics, and then getting shouted down with boos from your own followers can be stressful. And that stress can lead to profuse underarm perspiration. That’s why I use Degree Antiperspirant. Because if this young crowd saw how stressed out and upset I really am at the prospect of actually endorsing the most corrupt politician in America for president, they might storm the podium and tear this convention center apart. And then Donald Trump might become the next president. And seeing as I’m the only candidate who consistently beat Donald Trump in polls, and that Hillary is behind Trump now, the absurdity of this situation could really make me sweat up a storm out of frustration!”
