FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 16, 2015 the UNIVERSITY of CHICAGO INSTITUTE of POLITICS ANNOUNCES WINTER QUARTER 2016 FELLOWS CH FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 16, 2015 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO INSTITUTE OF POLITICS ANNOUNCES WINTER QUARTER 2016 FELLOWS CHICAGO – The University of Chicago Institute of Politics today announced six Fellows who will come to campus during the upcoming Winter Quarter. The group includes four veteran political strategists: - Alex Castellanos, a Republican political strategist who has worked on five U.S. presidential campaigns, and has helped elect eight senators and six governors during his more than four decades of campaign experience. - Patti Solis Doyle, a Democratic political strategist who worked in the Clinton Administration, as Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager in 2007 and 2008 – making her the first Hispanic woman to lead a presidential campaign – and as chief of staff for vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden in 2008 and as an adviser to the 2012 Obama-Biden campaign. - Stuart Stevens, a Republican political strategist and accomplished writer who worked on George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns and Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and has helped elect more governors and U.S. senators than any other Republican media consultant. - Joe Trippi, a Democratic political strategist, a leader in movement politics and a pioneer in the use of online technology, has worked on numerous U.S. Senate, congressional, gubernatorial and presidential campaigns including Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential run & Jerry Brown’s 2010 bid for California governor. When they come to campus in January, these strategists will hold seminars focused on the 2016 presidential race, with Castellanos pairing up with Solis Doyle for one series and Stevens pairing up with Trippi for the other. “During this election year, these Fellows will call on their wealth of experience to bring unique insights to the race,” said IOP director David Axelrod. “Rest assured, our students will relish the chance to hear from this All-Star collection of political strategists as the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries kick off in earnest.” In addition, the IOP is pleased to welcome as Fellows Juliet Macur, a Sports of the Times columnist for The New York Times, and Wajeh Abuzarefah, a Palestinian journalist for NBC News based in Gaza. Macur, who has covered eight Olympics and wrote the best-selling book “Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong,” will explore sports and international politics, including sessions on the upcoming Summer Olympics in Brazil and the FIFA soccer controversy. Abuzarefah, also a political analyst and a university lecturer with a PhD in political science, will hold seminars on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, life in the Gaza Strip, and his work as a journalist in the midst of conflict. While on campus next quarter, the six Fellows will interact with students and faculty, participate in public forums and, along with guests, lead off-the-record seminars. Since its launch in January 2013 the IOP has hosted 55 Fellows, including former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, former speechwriter for President Obama Jon Favreau, Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report, Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, former Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, and former New York City Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson. The IOP’s Fellows in Residence program is generously supported by the Pritzker Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. For more information about the IOP Fellowship Program, please visit http://politics.uchicago.edu/pages/fellows-program and follow the IOP on Facebook (facebook.com/UChicagoPolitics) and Twitter (@UChiPolitics). ### The Institute of Politics is a nonpartisan extracurricular program designed to ignite in University of Chicago students a passion for politics and public service. Three programs form the core of the initiative: a visiting fellows program where political officials, policymakers, journalists and others involved in politics and policy share their experiences with students and others over an academic quarter; an expanded set of policy and public interest internships and civic engagement projects; and a continuous series of public speakers discussing current events and political life. .

These rules have historically been reserved to ensure proper deliberation and consideration on the most important issues facing the nation. Recently, however, the Republican Party embraced these obstructionist tactics to subvert progressives so much that they have rendered the government dysfunctional.1 This report is intended as a guide to understanding obstruction in the Senate. It will exam- ine the tools used by Republicans to prevent the effective functioning of government via the filibuster and holds, how they’ve used these different tools in both policy debates and executive appointments, and which special interests benefit from such obstructionism. Obstruction by the numbers 112 Number of cloture votes in the 110th Congress (2007-08), a record number and more than double the cloture votes in the 109th Congress 2,000 percent Increase in the number of executive branch nominations facing filibuster under President Barack Obama over the previous six decades 15 Number of President Obama’s top national security picks, out of 30, that took longer to be confirmed than recommended by the 9/11 Commission.

  • Campaign Advertising 2016: Referendum on Character
    Campaign Advertising 2016: Referendum on Character Prashanth Bhat, Alyson Farzad-Phillips, Morgan Hess, Lauren Hunter, Nora Murphy, Claudia Serrano Rico, Kyle Stephan, Gareth Williams, & Dr. Shawn Parry-Giles 2 Campaign Advertising 2016: Referendum on Character Since 1952, campaigns ads have been one of the major ways that voters learn about presidential candidates.1 Campaign ads function as a “second voice” for the campaign – teaching voters about the important issues and activating political discussion among citizens.2 This report is produced by the Political Advertising Resource Center at the University of Maryland and identifies what these voices say about the 2016 presidential candidates: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. By analyzing the 2016 campaign advertising, we seek to understand what the advertising revealed and concealed about the candidates and the state of American politics. Our analysis examines campaign ads released after the major conventions through late October.3 We argue that the 2016 campaign ads represent a referendum on the character of the candidates. Both campaigns used appeals to fear and anger in their ads to assault the character of their opponent, elevating the anxiety and cynicism surrounding the campaign beyond levels in recent memory.4 The takeaway message is that no leader is fit to lead. These character attacks will likely resonate long after Election Day, inhibiting the ability of the next president to govern a divided electorate, no matter the outcome of the election. We begin this analysis by situating the 2016 election within a historical context of televised campaign advertising and finance reporting. We then examine the campaign ad strategies of Clinton and Trump, respectively.

  • Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Digital Divas: Women, Politics and the Social Network
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-63, June 2011 Digital Divas: Women, Politics and the Social Network by Alexis Gelber Shorenstein Center Goldsmith Fellow, Spring 2011 Formerly, Newsweek magazine © 2011 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Introduction∗ In the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama emerged as the champion of new media by using social networking tools in innovative ways to turn on and turn out young voters. Since then, some of most visible and creative users of social media in the political realm have been women: • After humiliation and defeat in 2008, Sarah Palin resurfaces as a powerful force in the Republican Party through Facebook and Twitter. • Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill is featured in Time magazine’s 2009 “Top 10 Celebrity Twitter Feeds” for her microblogs about her family, her diet and CEO bank pay that she writes herself (as she noted in a tweet).1 • Hillary Clinton digitizes diplomacy as Secretary of State after a lackluster new media campaign in her run for the presidency; Huffington Post calls her “Obama’s Unsung Tech Guru.”2 • Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota propels herself into a role as Congressional Tea Party Caucus leader and presidential contender, streaming video on her Facebook page and creating an iPhone app for supporters.3 • Tea Party organizers—many of them stay-at-home mothers with young children—use Twitter and other social networking platforms to connect conservative activists in a movement that upends the 2010 midterm elections. In addition, surveys indicate that women outnumber men on social networking sites.

    Trumpism Without Trump - POLITICO Magazine 4/19/18, 1035 AM Kevin Dietsch/Pool via Bloomberg POLITICS Trumpism Without Trump Good-bye Paul Ryan, hello to a new Republican Party that embraces the president’s politics but not his person. By ALEX CASTELLANOS | April 19, 2018 | Updated April 19, 2018 little more than six months from now, on November 7, the sun will rise on a political landscape wrecked by President Donald Trump’s first midterm election. Thanks to a map A that puts more Democratic than Republican seats at risk, our party will still cling to control of the Senate, but GOP House members lack insulation: They will crawl out from the smoking rubble of a 40- to 50-seat pounding to find they have lost their majority. Paul Ryan will be gone. The former Great White Hope of the Republican Party sneaked out of town https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/04/19/trumpism-without-trump-218013 Page 1 of 9 Trumpism Without Trump - POLITICO Magazine 4/19/18, 1035 AM before reveille, leaving his troops facing extinction. Our remaining soldiers, stunned or wounded, will also have blown the bugle of retreat, fleeing to the shelter of the party's shrunken conservative base. Our eyes will turn to those survivors, the leaders of a broken party, one only they can restore. They will determine where the Republican Party goes next. How do we renew our party in the Age of Trump? We don’t have to wait for November’s cataclysm. We can begin now with a strategy to harness Trump’s base and add swing voters, even as we remain faithful to our principles.
