The Question That Changed America in 1980; The Question That Can Change America Again in 2020

[Soph0571]

THEN: “Ask yourself, ‘Are you BETTER OFF than you were four years ago’?” [Reagan Oct. 28, 1980]

NOW: “Ask yourself, ‘Are you SAFER than you were four years ago’?” [the question that must be posed for 2020]
---
Reagan may have been guilty of some terrible acts as President, but he knew that he (or she) who “frames” the terms of an election wins that election. We must learn that lesson. We must frame the terms of the 2020 election with the same compelling clarity and power that Reagan framed the choice in 1980 .

Don't think that would work on Cultist - they do not give a shit about their safety, but for independent swing voters? What do you think? Would this strategy have legs??

1. I think it's pretty good.

A lot of those swing voters could very well identify as former Reagan supporters, or folks who came of age during the Reagan years.

Definitely a question worth asking.

Well done.
