Über diesen Titel
Summary
Over the last 25 years, American politics has swung back and forth like a pendulum—every “permanent majority” has proven temporary. From Bush’s “thumpin’” in 2006 to Trump’s return in 2024, one truth stands out: no single win defines the next one.
This episode is a reminder to focus on what we can control.
Key Points
- 2000: Florida recount and a divided nation.
- 2004: Talk of a “permanent Republican majority.”
- 2006–2008: Democrats surge back under Bush and Obama.
- 2010–2024: Power ping-pongs between parties nearly every cycle.
- Lesson: Politics never stays still, and neither should your campaign strategy.
Takeaway
The best strategy isn’t predicting the future, it’s preparing for it.
- You control how many fundraising calls you make.
- You control how well you prepare and practice.
- You control how deeply you connect.
