What is your favorite presidential campaign slogan?

Asked by SergeantQueen (12874points) August 18th, 2020

Not entirely sure how accurate this is, but wikipedia has a whole list of campaign slogans.

Apparently President Franklin Pierce’s slogan was “We Polked you in ’44, we shall Pierce you in ‘52””

“Polked” being a reference to President James Polk.

In the 1964 presidential election, Barry Goldwater had the slogan:

“In your heart you know he’s right”.

The democrats back then added a second line:

“In your guts you know he’s nuts”

I liked Obama’s slogan from his race in 2012: Forward. I believe he took it from the popular yell here in Hawaii: “Imua!” which translates as forward. It was shouted by the troops of King Kamehameha I when he united the islands. It is still popular today for invigorating groups.
