2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Jeff Weaver- worst surrogate ever [View all]wilt the stilt
(4,528 posts)20. I didn't say he wasn't effective
i said he was ineffective as a spokesman. This is a game of perception. In the U.S. it always has been. Was barack more pleasant than John Mccain. of course he was.
It is smart to always put your best foot forward and to give the best impression up front. Usually people buy from whom they like.That is the perception game. Why not have Weaver in the background and get someone else upfront.
Is that such a difficult concept?

Sure. I said not meant to be personal. Tried to be "classy". You keep on with perception.

He should blow kisses more and then claim that he was fearful for his safety while blowing kisses
