Back when I did Candidate Confessional, we interviewed @stuartpstevens about Romney-Obama ’12. One thing that stuck with me is how confident he said the campaign felt that they would win. One of the reasons they were confident? Because Obama was flailing. (cont…)

Stu chuckled at one attack line in particular: a riff Obama did in mid Oct. about Romney suffering from “Romneysia.” It was cheap and silly. And for the Romney campaign it was a sign that Obama was still scrambling for a message.

In the end, Romneysia didn’t stick. But that’s because a separate story overtook it and everything else: Hurricane Sandy.

Anyways, I couldn’t help but think of that story from Stu tonight when I got this email from the Trump campaign in my inbox.
