    SPEAKER 1: Please take your seats now, and join me in welcoming tonight's guests and director of the Institute of Politics, Mark D. Gearan. MARK GEARAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's forum. We have an extraordinary group of colleagues here to discuss campaign 2020. And it's about time we do that right here at the Institute of Politics. So we've put together a great panel of those-- some who have been former fellows here, and those who know politics well, Republicans and Democrats, strategists that will really animate tonight's discussion. We start with Robby Mook with Scott Jennings here. Scott is a former resident fellow, and Robby is a visiting fellow here. They both teamed up, and they teach a course here at the Kennedy School on their perspective from having run Hillary Clinton's campaign to a Republican strategist and close advisor to Majority Leader McConnell. Really provide a great perspective. Reggie Hubbard joins us here as a strategist, Democratic strategist and grassroots strategist with Move On, and having served in the Obama-Biden world, and Sanders. So we welcome you and Alice Stewart, who has long and deep experience in Republican politics, from Senator Santorum and Governor Romney and Michele Bachman and loads of good campaigns. And of course, many of them are known to you from their commentary on CNN as analysts. And the perfect person to moderate this is our own senior fellow here at the Institute of Politics, Dan Balz, who, of course, is the chief correspondent for the Washington Post, who has covered every campaign, presidential campaign for several, several cycles, and brings his deep experience to that.

  • And with Google Or Related Entities
    What We Can Learn from Google’s Support for Hillary Clinton Google executives and employees bet heavily on a Clinton victory, hoping to extend the company’s influence on the Obama White House. They lost that bet, and are left scrambling to find an entrée to the Trump Administration. Google’s playbook with Clinton reveals how the company most likely will seek to influence the new administration. There already are signs of that influence: Joshua Wright, who co-wrote a Google-funded paper while on the faculty of George Mason University and currently works at Google’s main antitrust law firm, was named to the Trump transition team on competition issues. Alex Pollock, of the Google-funded R Street Institute, has also been named to oversee the transition at the FTC, which oversees Google's conduct. Introduction Google’s extraordinarily close relationship with President Obama’s administration led to a long list of policy victories of incalculable value to its business.1 An in-depth examination of the company’s efforts to extend that special relationship into the next administration, which it wrongly predicted would be led by Hillary Clinton, reveal what we might expect from Google for the incoming Trump administration. Google’s executives and employees employed a variety of strategies to elect Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump. Google permeated Clinton’s sphere of influence on a broad scale, rivaling the influence it exerted over the Obama administration. A review found at least 57 people were affiliated with both Clinton—in her presidential campaign, in her State Department, at her family foundation—and with Google or related entities.

These operations, which require dozens of staffers and strategists, aim to provide citizens with information about a candidate so that they will organize for and contribute to their campaigns. The goal, ultimately, is to encourage voters to choose their preferred candidate on election day. The prize, hopefully, is the candidate’s assumption of the Office of the President of the United States. Since the first presidential elections, communication has played a central role in campaigning. It is, as White House media advisor Bob Mead wrote, the “essence of a political campaign,” allowing a candidate to convey his ideas and visions to voters with the hope that they 1 can trust him, support him and elect him.

Flashback to 2007: the iPhone is a technological miracle, the Black Eyed Peas are topping the charts, and a freshman Senator from Illinois is about to embark on a journey that will define the next century. My name is Carter and I’m thrilled to be your Chair as you all drive a campaign to take America by storm. A bit about myself: I’m a third year in the College at the University of Chicago, studying Political Science (and probably another major or a few minors, as long as I can keep a high GPA for law school)! I originally hail from Louisville, Kentucky (pronounced Loo-a-vul)--home of horse racing, fried chicken, and Muhammad Ali. Outside of coursework, I’m the Vice President of our competitive Model UN Team, and am a Crisis Director for a committee (The Virgin Group, 2020) at ChoMUN, our collegiate Model UN conference. This is my second year at MUNUC--last year I staffed the Cabinet of Uzbekistan, 1991. I also work at UChicago’s Community Programs Accelerator as a consultant for nonprofits on Chicago’s South Side, and spend my limited free time exploring this beautiful city and finding good food.

  • Nominations, Conventions, and Presidential Campaigns
    Nominations, Conventions, and Presidential Campaigns Presidential nominating conventions are not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but they play a key role in American politics. Conventions mark the transition between two key periods of a presidential campaign: the nominating process and the general election. Both major parties nominate their presidential candidates much differently than they did in the 19th century. In fact, presidential candidates did not even attend conventions until 1932. The motivation for modern reform occurred in the second half of the 20th century, when the McGovern-Fraser commission, established by Democrats in the wake of the 1968 convention, created a way for voters to participate directly in the nominating process. Republicans followed with reforms of their own, but in a more incremental and cautious fashion (mostly because Republicans won most of the presidential contests in that period and saw no need to change their processes). The convention is the body that nominates candidates for president and vice president. It also creates a party platform, outlining the party’s positions on the major issues in the presidential campaign. Convention delegates serve as the “legislature” because they make major decisions on behalf of the party. In the years between conventions, party chairs make these major decisions for the party. National party conventions serve many functions. First, they allow different groups within a political party to debate and resolve their conflicting positions on major issues (economy, social issues, foreign policy). They also serve as a major political rally, bringing thousands of party elites and rank-and-file members together in one location.
