Document Information

Type: Political strategy memo
File Size: 1.52 MB
Summary

This document is a political strategy memo arguing for the viability of a centrist, third-party presidential candidate in the 2020 U.S. election. Citing the 'failed' 2016 election, high disapproval of Donald Trump, and a leftward shift in the Democratic party, the author suggests the electorate is open to an alternative. The memo brainstorms several 'radical' bipartisan tickets, such as Biden/Romney and Bill Gates/Hogan, as possibilities.

"The system failed in 2016, with both parties producing terribly flawed candidates in a race to the bottom. We need to build a back-up plan in the event the system fails again."

"As a thought experiment, consider the possibilities of a ticket outside the partisan lanes and imagine the chemistry of radical combinations: Biden/Romney? Bill Gates/Hogan? Bloomberg/Haley? Howard Schultz/Bob Corker? Sandberg/Kasich?"

Quote #2
"Heading into 2020, converging trends in American's demands for a third party (a historic high of 61%), disapproval of Donald Trump holding steady above 50%, and the increasingly leftward drift of the Democratic Party suggest that electorate may be susceptible to merits of a new centrist party."
