"We don’t believe in a small America."

"We don’t believe in the kind of smallness that says it’s okay for a stage full of political leaders — one of whom could end up being the president of the United States — being silent when an American soldier is booed."

"We don’t believe in that."

"We don’t believe in standing silent when that happens."

"YOU WANT TO BE COMMANDER AND CHIEF?"

"You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it’s not politically convenient."

3. Excellent.

The contrast is so striking between what we Dems believe and support and what the Republicans have come to embrace. How can anyone in their right mind truly support what is the Republican party of today?

But the video is a year old, so it's not a new ad. That was all
