What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the best campaigns are campaigns of ideas and substance.
I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me - so am I.
Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor; I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.
I think I know a lot about campaigns.
My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.
The reality is that asking the public to fund political campaigns accomplishes nothing. Candidates continue to seek interest-group support through other channels, both financial and in-kind, and corruption problems abound.
I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.
Here's what I know about political campaigns: no matter what you map out at the beginning, it's always different at the end.
I told Donald Trump, 'This isn't a campaign, this is a movement.' Look at what's happening. The American people are not happy with their government.
People are moping around and I think campaigns can be about lifting the spirits of the American people.
