Linda Bloodworth-Thomason & Harry Thomason.

Not only did they have a number of successful TV shows, but they were shows like Designing Women and Evening Shade that appealed to suburban and rural white folks.

The interesting thing is that I believe they worked with Hillary during her Senate campaign, but not on her presidential run.

Well, they were old in 2016. Probably retired, and even if not, not active. It's hard for senior citizens to make buzzy media. Plus, again, HRC didn't lack for creatives.

That's not completely true. Obama also appealed to suburban Philly and Cleveland voters - moderates and even some Republicans. HRC lost the suburban women's vote as well as the working class.

The difference today is the gender gap. Kamala is counting on the Coalition and suburban women in Milwaukee, Detroit, That includes Nikki voters. When the margin is razor thin, you open that umbrella and add to the Coalition.

Trump's strategy is to suppress coalition voters who could beat him, while playing Pied Piper to white voters who don't normally vote.

One thing that happened in 2008 was the emergence of what I will call pre-Trumpism that turned off a number of Republicans. There were quite a few pubs who were very turned off by Sarah Palin, due to both her lack of qualification and to her rhetoric (trying to define who the real Americans are). I know a number of people— longtime loyal republicans— who fled the party at the point.

They were 69 (LBT) and 75 (HT) in 2016.

HRC didn't need them as creatives, she needed them to help craft a message that would appeal to white working class voters. I'm guessing many of HRC's creatives didn't have that skill in their toolkit.

What county are you voting in? I'm in Wilson, I just went down to vote and they were closed. Checked the website and yep, all three locations in Wilson are closed today. Open last Saturday and all last week, and open tomorrow and all next week, but closed today? Odd...

Forsyth.
 
If the Democratic Party can't win with 1) the actual truth and 2) a billion dollars at their disposal (which I would spend on combatting the Trump misinformation) then the Democratic party apparatus needs to be remade from the ground up. That is, if we even have another election anytime in the near future ☹️

And if we somehow do manage to, the first thing they need to do is to stop hiring people who've lost their elections to head the DNC (e.g., Tom Perez, Jaime Harrison). Find a David Plouffe or David Axelrod type instead who can actually win.

So, the claim is ttump will be a "president for all americans", will "protect the curriculum in our schools", because "we want a strong border", and "we want a strong economy" and "we want to make america great again through peace and justice for all". Something tells me there's more to the endorsement.

Agree. They have desperately needed an aggressive, offensive marketer and campaigner.

Grifters love a grifter. Also, Adams is angling for a future pardon, because that mf’er is going down.
