Ex-Bush Strategist Spells Out How Newsom Is Absolutely 'Winning' With Trump Trolling
HuffPost
Matthew Dowd spilled on why he's loving the California governor's new posting style.
Matthew Dowd, the chief strategist of George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign, praised California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his team on Wednesday over his social media makeover to troll President Donald Trump.
Dowd — in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, who served as communications director on the Bush ’04 campaign — argued that Democrats sometimes “take themselves too seriously” and, in the process, don’t understand that voters want a good “laugh.”
“And if you’re laughing at a politician, you’re winning. If you can get voters to laugh at somebody else, you’re winning in the course of this,” Dowd said. “And that’s, I think, the cultural moment that we’re in is how do you relate to where people are?”
Moments earlier, he recalled a 2004 press briefing where members of the media questioned if Bush was going to win that year’s presidential election.
“I said at that briefing, ‘I can give you a bunch of polls and all that but just do one thing — go to our campaign and go to the [John] Kerry campaign and whoever is having the most fun is going to win,’” he said.
