Pollster Doug Schoen highlights noteworthy stories and powerful lessons from his nearly four-decade career working with some of the biggest names in politics.
"I had a sense that [Obama] was a guy who was very facile, very, very much able to persuade people, but his governance was far less effective than the promise.", Schoen also discussed former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whom he argues was not naturally suited for politics but was"far more ambitious" than her husband, Bill Clinton.
"She was far more ambitious than Bill. And Bill was pretty darn ambitious," Schoen explained."She absolutely, it was clear, felt she had a calling." "The analogy I offered was the two students. Bill Clinton was the one who did best in the open book exam where you could think. She was the one who would memorize and then regurgitate," he added."Now she has a very good mind, she's focused and she's disciplined, but she's not a particularly creative thinker. She's had so many different incarnations. She ran first as a centrist, then she tried to run to the left.
"After the disaster of the midterm in '94 for the Democrats, [Dick] Morris calls and says, yeah, well, you're hired. And I'm sitting there saying, wait a minute. Other than having shaken his hand in Arkansas, I didn't know Bill Clinton."
