01MarDoes the republicans fossilized thinking stems from their fanatical worship of Ronald Reagan?


A lot of their fossilized thinking stems from their fanatical worship of Reagan. David Frum wrote a great article in Time this week where points out one simple fact: Reagan was elected nearly 30 years ago. His ideas may have been what the country needed to get out of the “malaise” of the 70s. But it’s a different world with different concerns today. The GOP doesn’t just need a rebranding, they need new ideas.

28MarBranding Candidates via Marketing. Are Americans this shallow and careless?


I noticed, as a marketing major, that Americans are very easily swayed by brand names. Unfortunately, I think we have been picking our Presidents the same way that we pick our shoes and clothes.

Does anyone notice how Hillary and Obama are being placed(one of the 4 P’s of marketing) like high end products, and Kucinich and Paul(whom most Americans would likely be more comfortable with and safe) are being branded like Wally Wear? I guess this is what they call psychopolitics. Kinda like that Psychology of Consumerism class I recently took that taught me how to sell ice to an Eskimo.
