Question: How Much Has Modern Presidential Campaigning Become Like Dating ???

Especially when it comes to undecideds/uncommitteds...

Are we now wooing the electorate ???

There used to be a word for those uncommitted/undecided people we attempted to seduce...

And I wonder if seduction is the current way one wins the Presidency these days.

If true... it's the fault of the MSM.

It's ALL marketing.

For the most part, I can make my own choices and not have to put up with decisions made by idiots I don't even know.
