I don't think it exists. /ROUS - http://princessbride.wikia.com/wiki/R.O.U.S. Obama's was a simple "Forward" - which I actually think is one of the better ones (doesn't that say something). Dead simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 On slogans, some of the responses to this tweet were gold. My favorite being: Mine personally would be: "Home safe. Good night." Which with the right framing kinda works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, that's a good campaign video. That was really good, but too long form methinks to be truly effective, methinks. I hope she has a 30 second version that hits all the important notes.

Although a sub-clause reaffirming the importance of soy sauce would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 4 hours ago, Manhole Eunuchsbane said: They don't matter in the sense that they don't effect the content of the platform, but in terms of PR they can be huge. Yes We Can. Hope and Change, Make America Great Again, etc, all captured a segment of the population's attention and imagination. As incompetent as Trump is, he understands the importance of branding. It's YUGE. Those are all presidential campaigns. They can be useful in those cases - and in general it's important for a presidential candidate to have a bumper sticker message - but for all of (one party of) Congress? Highly skeptical it's ever made a significant difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
