It's a hard sell. On the other hand, Obama ran on yes we can and the audacity of hope and the fierce urgency of now. Bill Clinton on the man from Hope and turning around the economy. We need to clearly establish for the public who we are and what positive things we stand for and we want to bring. Trump has been successful running on making America great again because even though he doesn't care about anyone but himself, he gave lip service to returning to a time that was better for a large group of people (white people, more men than women). We need to sell to the American public that we're looking to make the country better for everyone who isn't absurdly wealthy.
