This guy's whole thesis rests on the assumption that Dole failed in his presidential bid because of his tax cut proposal. I mean, COME ON. Does this kind of idiocy even need to be addressed?
Yah, that was really a pitiful analysis. Dole lost because a) he was Dole, and b) Clinton was Clinton. It was a personality contest in which one guy didn't have one.
Exactly! That was what I got from his story. Dole was the definition of a "Washington Insider" and a very old guy. Very uncharismatic ... a nice guy, but no fire in his sole. That is why people didn't come out and vote for the guy.
