If you were running for president, what would your campaign slogan be? No serious answers, please. The sillier, the better. Vote for ekedolphin in 2020: “Technically, He’s Old Enough Now.” ---

My three favorite offbeat slogans IRL: “Zell Yes!” (Zell Miller, running for Governor of Georgia) “A troubled man for troubled times” (Alice Cooper for President) “Better a lizard than a wizard” (for the crooked Edwin Edwards over the ex-Klansman David Duke for Governor of Louisiana) ---

None of his regular people knew how to run a campaign based on holding the higher moral ground. ---

This bumper sticker actually existed while Edwards ran against Duke: Vote for the crook. It’s important.
