I have an idea for a national campaign for Bernie. He could run on the idea of decency. Bernie is such an obviously decent fellow that it could be a powerful image to promote nationally. And he wouldn’t need to fake anything, just act naturally, that’s all.
I believe people could respond to this very authentic kind of goodness. There is a nostalgia for something like this even in the most cynical among us. And it seems like Bernie’s campaign understands this, if we look at the recent commercials they’ve put out.
Not sure that is a winning message.. by better angels might think so, but is it realistic?
The only decent president in terms of honesty / authenticity I can think of is Jimmy Carter in the last 100 years. And most regard him as one of the worst presidents, but best humanitarians out of office.
Maybe it works, just something to think of.

Those who remember Carter already know who they are voting for anyway. 🙂

Is “Welcome Back, Kotter” going to be aired again on American television?
Because this sounds rather a lot like “Welcome Back, Jimmy Carter” … 🙂
