Review Of Logline: The Political Outsider's Path To The White House

Improved Essays
Logline: The political outsider’s path to the White House and his vigorous fight against the establishment politics as he embarks on the most honest presidential campaign that the U.S. has ever seen.

Thank you very much for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you

The Progressive message was now understood as “identity politics” not the defenders of the underdog as promised. However, Conservatives who can provide the best solutions to poverty were tagged with…
