Louisiana Democrats release anti-Donald Trump ad

The Louisiana Democratic Party has launched a web campaign against GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, with a very specific message attempting to appeal to Louisiana voters who don't like former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

The Democrats' ad ends with "Get involved. It's important." -- a throwback to the pro-Edwin Edwards "Vote for the Crook. It's important" rally cry from the 1991 governor's race. It's clearly meant to appeal to those same types of people who couldn't see themselves supporting Duke in that race.
