What Hillary Clinton and George Bush Have in Common

"George Bush and Hillary Clinton both share a politics where they are disliked by large numbers of Americans and rather than try to get their numbers up, they are reduced to trying to get their opponent's numbers down.

Hillary Clinton entered this campaign with about 45-46% of Americans who would never support her. After one negative tactic after another her positive support has gone down and the number of people who will never support her has gone up.

9. That is exactly the phrase that resonated for me too zidzi
The reason I decided I liked the way he expresses himself.
Outward, UPWARD, and Sideways.
Very significant.
That's what makes him, inspiring.
That's how President Kennedy was.
