'Starting today, we're going to change the channel!' - Pete Buttigieg [View all]

I can’t get over how clever and how effective this analogy is. Unlike turn the corner, turn the page, start a new chapter, ‘change’ is there front and center.

And don’t tell me there wasn’t some thought given to kids asking their parents, to grand kids asking the same, to change the channel from Fox News. Today we’re going to change the channel - the power of suggestion and every reality TV’s Star’s nightmare.

‘Spring is coming America’ is a Games of Thrones riff that won’t last far into 2020, but Change the Chanel? It’s a keeper.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
