DOUG SCHOEN: Jimmy Carter provided a model for the post-presidency
Fox News
Political consultant Doug Schoen reflects on the remarkable life of Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100.
Douglas E. Schoen has more than 40 years of experience as a pollster and political consultant. He served as an adviser to President Bill Clinton and to the presidential campaign of Michael Bloomberg. Schoen is founder and partner of Schoen Cooperman Research.
Carter's life reads like a storybook. He was a military leader and hero, a successful farmer and businessman, and a governor who was a trendsetter on civil rights. He did all this while understanding the concerns of those now known as the ultra-MAGA voters in America. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was winning the presidency in 1976 on a simple program of convincing the American people that he was an outsider, a fresh face and someone who, in his words, "would never lie to you."
