There is only one candidate who has the interests of people at heart.
Bernie Sanders.
How did Bill Clinton campaign? Jimmy Carter? Genuine question.

eat shit barack
I don't remember any slogan from Clinton's campaign either time and I was actively involved in that election as volunteer for Perot. Everyone where i lived just kept talking about how he went on Arsenio Hall and played the saxophone and everyone thought he was cool because of that. That era wasn't so sound bite focused as this one. People I remember talked about speeches not phrases. There really has been a shift in collective attention span IMO from 2000 to 2020 and not in a good way.
Carter I was too little but I just remember my parents talking about him being a nice peanut farmer.
But I think you are onto something that sloganeering probably goes in and out of favor depending on the era and dominant form of media.
Clinton: “It’s the economy, stupid.” “It’s time to change America.”
Carter: “Not just peanuts.” “Peaches and cream.”
FDR was really good in 1940: “better a third term than a third rater.”
Look at him. So rooted in reality he couldn't change it despite being the most powerful person on earth. Obama would be better off just shutting up for 2 decades.
For someone who had the WH and the two chambers, he didn't do a lot.
Today I learned...

That article is incredible. When I read that a large number of “endorsements” on the list weren’t black I thought to myself “imagine if something crazy like 40% of them turned out to be white.” Turns out it was at least 42%
and of the names that could be verified reliably, 62%!Also
I mean Gabbard has similar reviews and her support is predominantly white conservative too
Obama coming out this early.
The Dems must be scared.

He’s quite right. If you want to enact big change you need to do it quickly right at the start of your administration while you still have the honeymoon period. Leave it longer and you get dragged into unexpected events, political infighting and public dissatisfaction. The midterms are usually bad for a president.
She’s not (to my knowledge) using a “ni droite, ni gauche” campaign slogan though which was my original point.

nuke iowa
half the respondents are Republicans who wont even participate in the caucus.
They must be having a good laugh.
Precision strike please, can't deal with this radiation shit spreading to Florida. Else do it after February
Unlikely given he's been in the lead (or near it) in the past 3 polls. He's also trending up in NH as well, which if true would be bad news for the entire field.
bad news for the Dems in the GE
It’s amazing the way you talk with such authority about things you don’t know.
Ann Selzer’s DMR Iowa poll has long been considered the best of the bunch, just because you don’t like the findings doesn’t make it false.
You always say you're leaving the country but you never do
Glad to see Buttigieg being pushed as a front runner .He might have to start answering questions now.
Alright Trump, ease up on me
We will find out in 3 days
Wasn't Clintons also "I still believe in a place called hope"Clinton: “It’s the economy, stupid.” “It’s time to change America.”
Carter: “Not just peanuts.” “Peaches and cream.”
FDR was really good in 1940: “better a third term than a third rater.”
I'm not expecting many questions / much substance in the next debate
Crowded stage and a lot of people needing to boost their numbers... Suspect it's going to be soundbite after soundbite and trying to undermine people

Also, the other frontrunners have to be a bit careful in going after Pete too aggressively, since if he is prepared and easily dispatches their questions, he could easily come out of this as having weathered the storm and potentially be considered a co-front runner.
Bernie will explain what Single Payer is...therefore what Medicare for All is.
And Pete will undoubtedly retort with something along the lines of "I want to be honest with the public and pursue a policy that will work, because it's both plausibly affordable and realistically implementable, and Medicare for all, while I agree with it in spirit, would simply not get through the Congress and we may in 4 years from now find ourselves in the same position we are in today."
So at that point, all your have is a stalemate where both factions have promoted their plans and neither have made much in the way of progress with the public in terms of convincing them why one is better than the other.
....meaning he will give the same corporate response.
In the end the public will choose who to believe.
The fact the Dems are pushing Obama out so quick is telling.
Panic setting in early.
