Ronald Reagan was a hero of mine. Hes still is because of his belief in this country. Also for overcoming hardship with care and respect. That's why he was a great president one of the reason was his ability to communicate. Right now our gop frontrunners for lack of a better word couldn't communicate to save their life. Speaking clearly and precise is the key to winning the election. How do you convince people to vote for you.
First off my friend Ken Gardner said it best "winning elections is more about persuading a majority to vote for you, not just your own political base." This is true and how you do that easy. David Mamet famous play Glengarry Glen Ross had the perfect line about it about talking to the american public. "A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always...be...closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING."
So to the GOP listen to me. First off Put...that coffee...down! Coffee's for closers only.
All the Gop candidates doing is flubbing on the golden opportunity to stop Obama power grab. Here's the thing Obama don't have a raging clue on what he doing. The thing is he's a great BS artist his words are candy flavor poops. People gobble them up cause they believe in what he is peddling. GOP don't have that. 2008 we had many that could spin things to their advantages Fred Thompson Hollywood actor like Reagan who could talk to people to give them hope. Rudy Giuliani people could trust him because of the way he handled things on Sept. the 11th. Now the best speaker we have is having a verbal slapfest with Willard Romney. I'm looking at you Newt.
All I'm saying to work on selling your platform like a salesman. The best guy to learn from this will be our next president but the clock is ticking and Obama still giving out his candy flavored poop.
Hi Brad! Ronald Reagan is a hero of mine too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post!
The power of persuasion. In this day, it seems persuasion based on record and facts has been replaced with how snarky and bullying a person can be when talking about his or her competitor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, Brad. Keep at it.
