In response to "He ran on the slogan "change" -- nm" by Roger More

"change" away from Partisanship...

People were already tired of the ineffectual leadership and partisan conflict. He ran as a change from that not...a change from conservatism.

"change" means whatever the people hearing it think it means, and it meant a lot of things - Roger More Nov 11, 08:01 2
- No. Populism involves a certain "take things back from those people!" kind of message, be it "America," the means of production in Latin American - con_carne Nov 11, 08:10 1
  - That's fair enough - he's not populist in the way that, say, Hugo Chavez, was populist. Or like the Tea Party or OWS are populist. - Roger More Nov 11, 08:28
