37. Act like he doesn't CARE what his opponents say about him
Both Clinton and Obama share a common weakness: They care too much about what Republicans think of them, so they compromise excessively. This is like giving a bully your lunch money. It marks you as an insecure pushover. It is like painting a target on your butt.

Bush and Reagan got what they wanted because they had an air of self-confidence and, if they cared what the Democrats thought about them, they never let it show.
