Liberals face an uphill battle too - to prove they’re not liberals. That’s why they’ve only held the WH twice since 1964. Two years after Watergate, Jimmy Carter barely won. Clinton won because he ran as a conservative - and because Perot took votes away from Bush I.
Telling voters you’re going to take more money out of their pocket in taxes isn’t a good economic policy either.
