Winners Know How To Attack

COW Episode 16

I’ve seen some stupid attacks in political campaigns. This one takes the cake. In 2010, Rand Paul was attacked for allegedly kidnapping a girl and making her worship his God, AquaBuddah. Yeah, that really happened. Obviously, it backfired.

In this episode, I chat with Senator Paul’s advisor, Doug Stafford. Doug Stafford is one of the best-known general consultants in the Republican Party and a guy I really enjoy working with. He and I tackled Nancy Mace’s hot congressional race together in 2022.

The lesson here is simple – winners know how to attack. Maybe don’t attack your opponent for worshipping a fake God. It’s not very believable.
