I like the joke about Republican billionaires being smarter than Democratic billionaires. I don't think their IQ is actually higher. I think Republican donors approach getting votes the way they would approach a marketing scheme designed to get more profits.Sales tactics obviously work.
Our advantage against this is that personal connections in real life will defeat hollow, fakey marketing. Sure, people will go for the entertaining, flattering marketing, but they are now learning that marketing and Republicans are only solving THEIR problems, not the voters' problems. This realization is what we see in Republican town halls.
If we can connect for real and then grab voters by the lapels and show, not tell, them we are dedicated to making their lives better, then we can win back their loyalty. Democrats need to study what FDR did. He practiced retail politics. People knew he cared and he was trying. That kind of heart will make Trump's deceptive political practices fade away.
And if Democratic politicians are relying on consultants who are not dedicated to making voters' lives better, those wastes of space need to be shown the door.
