2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhich campaign slogan strikes the strongest chord?
Often that is what people remember and associate with the candidate. I couldn't remember McCain's or Romney's-- at first thought did they even have one, but I found them online. But which of these themes sounds most compelling? And why? How much of a role do slogans play? I think for President Obama and Trump... alot. And that it made a difference in their respective elections.

(4,377 posts)1. I think "Yes we can" was Obama's best slogan.
It cut through a lot of the lies put out by the Republicans and offered Democrats a simple and clear battle cry.
I left out the best one. Corrected.

from the Hispanic immigration movement, which inherited it from Cesar Chavez and Delores Huerta's United Farm Worker slogan: "Si se puede."
