Sadly, he is right. The science of mass manipulation has become sharper and sharper in the political realm. Add into that our American Idol voting block whose votes can be swung based on who shows up on a late night comedy show and says the coolest catch phrase and we have a major fight on our hands.
Oh, and although George H.W. Bush was fired for a 7.4% unemployment rate, he was replaced with a guy (Clinton) who had an even more abysmal record- all because of the political mass manipulation machine.
If we don’t understand this, we risk continuing to lose.
Remember though that old BJ won with a 43% plurality.
A huge percentage of the Perot supporters were philosophically against Clinton.
