The politics reporters and producers at CNN have probably forgotten more about the 2016 election than most people ever knew, and as we come to the end of this long, long race, they are apparently getting a little nostalgic. Before you throw your laptop or phone to the floor in disgust, there were some good times — Birdy Sanders, Jeb! begging people to clap, Sen. Marco Rubio beaning a kid in the head with a football, Donald Trump getting attacked by a bald eagle, Hillary Clinton's shimmy, the "says who?/which polls?" interview, that guy who climbed Trump Tower — along with the bad and the downright ugly. If you need a memory jog to remember why you plan to vote the way you will, or just want to remember how much you have already forgotten, watch CNN's brief look back below. The jaunty music will ease you through. Peter Weber
