Hillary Clinton's newest campaign ad makes the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency feel very, very real. The ad, released just days ahead of Election Day, begins in November 2017 and proceeds to travel back in time showing everything that happened since Trump won the election in November 2016.
The ad depicts a fake newscaster talking about how Trump's ban on Muslims from entering the U.S. has "touched off a firestorm." And things are revealed to be progressively dire from there: Saudi Arabia has nuclear weapons, Trump has defaulted on the debt, and the U.S. has ditched its NATO allies.
The ad ends with the reminder: "Reality has no rewind" — so vote. Watch it below. Becca Stanek
