Elections are being decided not so much by how many people you got to vote for you, but how fewer people you disgusted enough to make them stay home on election day.
Reagan got a landslide because he gave people a reason to vote for him. Today, the best the political propaganda machines can do is give us a reason why we should not vote for the other guy.
"Vote for us because THAT guy is Satan! And he golfs a lot."
That's not a reason to vote. Tell my why I should vote for your guy, not why I should vote against the other guy.
"Because freedom" doesn't fly. You have to do better than that.
Tell me EXACTLY what your guy will do. "He will obey the Constitution" is meaningless drivel.
"Create opportunity and jobs." Sounds nice. How?
"Repeal ObamaCare." AND THEN WHAT?!?
