Reply #3: Perhaps because negative works?

[papau]

Folks fell and say that hate negative campaigning and that it turns them off and makes them less likely to vote for the negative speaking person -

but the secret of the GOP has been to realize that the media gives no time to Dems when we are positive - so the GOP has the media tell us the value of staying positive. They don't mention that only fellow running for Pres must look the optimist who will not go THAT negative - only a little negative.

And that the more negative the rest of the pack gets the more likely that they will win - as the GOP say - politics isn't beanbag!
