My favorite is from one of the 2008 debates. He was backed into a corner on his record of raising taxes as governor of AR. He steadfastly refused to admit he had raised taxes (a sin tax on tobacco products or something iirc) and instead responded, “I didn’t raise taxes. I raised hope!”
Great point, thank you. I know I always considered his staying in the race til the bitter end as “the Fox News audition period” or perhaps the “Oh yes, I’ll take the Veep spot” shamelessness…….
