David Axelrod on the theory of point and counterpoint in presidential elections, where qualities opposite of the incumbent get the upper hand- Bush and Obama, Obama and Trump or Cruz
01/25/2016
Democratic party strategist Axelrod writes about Trump (and Cruz), both having a disdain of conventional politicians and calling it like it is. Axelrod says he should have known. He writes about his theory from a memo in 2006 for president Obama's prospects- of point and counter point in presidential politics where a newcomer with opposite qualities than the incumbent can gain popularity, especially when the electorate is growing weary of the outgoing president and conditions change. The lame duck year for the outgoing president only reinforces his ineffectiveness.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
