![Combating Trump](https://geoffblades.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/combating-trump-shadow-300x251.png)I like Kamala Harris.

She’s a winner.

With a track record of serving.

And good values.

Lots going for her.

But her campaign is burned.

## She Might Be Toast

Just take that slogan—

*Kamala Harris For The People. *

When I saw it on a t-shirt I thought it was a home-made job.

Then I went to her website.

Nope, that’s her slogan…

Not quite as bad as *Jeb!*or*Make Herstory,*but nor quite as good as *Vote For Pedro*.

And it only got worse.

## Lead With Decency

Her website leads with a PC video and the headline—

“An America where leaders lead with decency.”

What??

Who wrote that?

How about…

## Lead With Winning

I don’t get it.

It seems most the candidates want to lose.

Or they’re too [insert word] to study how to win.

They hate Trump so much they’ve failed to[learn how he won](https://geoffblades.com/masterclasses/#combating-trump). (Watch me [on CNBC here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=KFdcyQUZZy4))

They love Obama, but they’ve learned nothing from his winning either.

## No Hope. No Change. No Yes We Can

Obama was an amazing candidate.

Not being political here, but looking at how he won it’s hard not to gush about the man.

His slogans.

*Hope. Change. Yes We Can. *

Iconography, like that *Hope* poster.

His speeches. The way he used language to build a movement to take over the country.

## What Didn’t They Learn?

Everything.

Nothing.

If you can’t even get a slogan right, what chance do you have of winning?

Here’s 5 mins from the [Combating Trump Masterclass](https://geoffblades.com/masterclasses/#combating-trump) on what they didn’t learn from Obama:
