He instead demanded action ( " tear down this wall"), stated that the policies of the government were bad ( Evil Empire) and articulated the positive values of a democracy and described his vision of the future. <br /><br />That's the same tact President Reagan took running against opponents. He didn't get his hands dirty. He remained above the fray and stayed on message. He used humor and wit, rather than acting like an attack dog. <br /><br />That's what political success looks like.<br /><br />The McDaniel campaign started out well and then the candidate clearly had no ability to define or maintain a strategy or message. Instead, his ego responded to the emotionalism of his " true believers"...his " fans". That's a huge mistake. The "true believers" are blinded by hero worship and are the vote you have, not the vote you have to get!<br /><br />Even if McDaniel had won, like Nixon, he'd have self-destructed for the same reasons. And, unlike Nixon's time, the social media is different and you can't hide that " us vs. them" mentality so well or defray it to boogeymen.<br /><br />Study politics first. It's not about being loved , it's about being effective.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-35505151955208512272015-01-03T07:07:52.115-06:002015-01-03T07:07:52.115-06:00Is he still delinquent on his property taxes????Is he still delinquent on his property taxes????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-66553030918340969402015-01-02T23:08:09.731-06:002015-01-02T23:08:09.731-06:00So, someone associated with an ideology that oppos...So, someone associated with an ideology that opposes gov't regulation, wants a job enforcing those regulations vs utilities?<br /><br />Grifters gotta grift, I guess.
