It Looks Like Kanye West Is Still Running For President, But Why?
There are plenty of candidates in the 2020 election. In Gil Kaufman’s Article “It Looks Like Kanye West is Still Running For President, But Why?” Scott Goodstein comments on the situation and the importance of humility when deciding to run for president:
“Anyone who wakes up and thinks, ‘I can be President of the United States’… it’s not a normal thing for any human to do, so they have to have a bit of humility or someone who checks them,” says Goodstein, who adds that was in conversations with “very wealthy” people in the most recent presidential primary campaign, who asked friends and people they didn’t know that well, including him, whether it was a good idea to run. ”

Will Twitter make @RealDonaldTrump a one-term president?
In The Hill, Scott Goodstein discusses Trump’s use of Twitter. Will it make him a one-term president?
“Let’s face it, @RealDonaldTrump became the Heisman Trophy winner of this new media, tirelessly tweeting out shocking news and changing the conversation. But the irony lies in his Twitter handle’s first four letters — R-E-A-L. Trump doesn’t demonstrate the persona of a politician who is focused on policy; there is no need for a late-night talk show interview to understand the soft personal side of this president. We’ve gotten to know exactly who he is by hearing from him 24 hours a day for the past four years. Twitter gave this reality TV show host his biggest weapon in 2016, and now it may be the biggest reason for his downfall.”

Don’t Applaud Twitter for Flagging One Tweet
Flagging one Tweet does not deserve applause! In Scott Goodstein’s article “Don’t Applaud Twitter For Flagging One Tweet” he discusses a long history of a lack of oversight and inability to take responsibility for public security problems.
“Twitter may be looking to burnish its battered image by starting to flag President Trump’s tweets when they are clearly at variance with the truth, but we shouldn’t forget: This is a platform that has shown little social responsibility in the past, and we’d be fools for thinking it’s going to start now.”
How Democrats Can Help Biden Make The Sale
To win the election, Dems need to help Joe Biden make the sale.
“I grew up in retail, the son of a haberdasher, so it’s easy for me to look at the presidential campaign as a basic sales challenge. Or to quote my old man, “Don’t blame the customer for not buying a product if they were never talked to.” So why, in today’s politics, are Democrats not marketing our candidate to those who are most likely to support him?
If Democrats are going to win in November, they must be honest and acknowledge that Biden’s campaign has not yet built credibility among his base voters. His team is still not aggressively marketing to African Americans, Latinos or youth voters online while everyone is clearly at home and on the internet.”
