“Feel the Bern” is the most talented campaign slogan I’ve ever heard. It’s memorable, it transmits the enthusiasm the candidate’s supporters are feeling, it’s perfect.
It’s very curious that the most anti-capitalist candidate is the best at branding. The rest of slogans can’t measure up at all. Hillary’s “Ready for Hillary” (has she changed it yet?) does have meaning but it’s gauche and kind of forced, like the candidate’s famous laugh. The campaign should have taken the idea and worked much harder on the wording.
The sadly notorious “Jeb!” is trying to make an important point (he’s not some nameless Bush, he’s an individual in his own right!) but coupled with the candidate’s vapid personality and non-existent support, the exclamation mark sounds pathetic.
Trump’s “Make America great again” sounds whiny and as if it were coming from a spoiled rich brat. (Oh, wait. . .) The candidate hasn’t been elected anywhere but he already tells us what to do.
Of course, the most embarrassing slogan is Ted Cruz’s invocation of transrectal ultrasounds (“TRUSted.) The slogan underscores the general impression that the candidate has something large permanently stuck in his anal cavity.
What the rest of the slogans are I don’t even know because they are lazy and generic.

Who but Hoover sounds like a tagline for a vacuum cleaner company. Or the giant whooshing sound
of all money leaving the banks in bank run

That’s exactly what I’m saying about irony. 🙂 People today are far more likely to approach things critically.

Hey Clarissa, nice post. I have to agree that “Feel the Bern” is one of the most memorable slogans of all time. But did you know that Walter Mondale used “Where is the beef” in the 1980s?

No. And I need an explanation of what it means. I don’t have the knowledge of the era.
