Schumer Blinks! Ranking Winning Presidential Campaigns (with Ettingermentum)

From Johnson to Trump, we break it all down

Schumer blinked. House Democrats are furious. But there will be more on that tomorrow.

While the dust settles, I’m joined by returning guest

to dive deep into the best and worst winning presidential campaigns. We rank every campaign from 1964 to 2024: Who ran the best campaigns, who completely fumbled, and which elections had the biggest long-term impact. Ettingermentum previously put together a two-part series ranking these campaigns, and I, naturally, had to make his own. So, we go back and forth, comparing notes, debating rankings, and making the case for why certain campaigns deserve more credit (or less).
