Maybe BO or Hillary will clue in on this. Certainly Bill did in 92.
I also think it will take a candidate taking down Hannity and O'Reilly. Sadly, few, other than Bill C. , have ever accomoplished that. The trick is to beat them at their own game and never lose your cool - which is exactly what Bill C. did.

Yes! Stand for something dammit and don't back down. Let them sling mud. But if you're right you're right, no matter how they try to spin it. People will see that. Well, most will. You can't be a people pleaser in politics, you will never get everyone's vote.
