When Presidential Candidates Warned About “More of the Same‪”‬ C-SPAN's The Weekly

“This debate tonight has made crystal clear a challenge that is as old as America — the choice between hope and fear, change or more of the same.”
That was Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton – his closing statement in the October 11, 1992, presidential debate…
“More of the same” – It’s a phrase Bill Clinton famously – and quite effectively – used during the 1992 campaign…
And you don’t just hear it from Bill Clinton …”More of the same” is a warning you typically hear from other presidential candidates in other presidential campaigns.
But probably not this year…. In 2024 – with a repeat of the same two candidates from the last presidential election – we likely won’t hear either side talk much – if at all – about “more of the same.”
