“Hillary invented NOT campaigning for the presidency.”
Not even close.
The Front Porch, or Non-Campaign Campaign, is an old and honored tradition in American politics.
The successful presidential campaigns of James A. Garfield in 1880, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, and William McKinley in 1896 are perhaps the best-known front porch campaigns.
McKinley spoke to over 700,000 people from his front porch while his opponent, William Jennings Bryan, gave over 600 speeches across the country.
Warren Harding used the front porch campaign style successfully in 1920.
Jeff Sessions used a front porch style campaign during his 2008 Senate re-nomination race.
I thank you for the historical data, but you KNOW that that is not what Hillary did. Hers was NOT a “front porch campaign.”
She did not speak to 700,000 people. I doubt she spoke to 7,000. If she spoke at all, it was only for money.
Her “campaign” relied on the Demcrat vote-fraud machine. She expected to win with that, and almost did.
