Abstract

Anger and fear? Hope and vision? Both are time-honored approaches used by candidates heading into a major election. July’s Republican and Democratic conventions offer combinations galore. This time around, though, Ron Pruessen wonders whether the choices made in Cleveland and Philadelphia will do the trick. Will Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have an uphill battle against electorate exhaustion and/or boredom generated by an already endless campaign, which has been further compounded by the disdain being voiced about both nominees?
