Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 23/07/2026First priority in selling anything AND winning elections: Ask for the order. Democratic candidates must ask for the vote. In the new political novel "A Fistful of Aces" a winning Democratic U.S. Senate candidate uses the rallying cry "Vote Democratic." Audiences chant: "Vote, Vote, Vote Democratic" 011
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 20/07/2026When was the last time or the first time that you heard a Democratic candidate ask these questions of their audiences: "What have Republicans ever done for you?" "Here's what they've voted against." (Show the list.) "Do you know what Democrats have done for you and your family?) (Show the list.) 000
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Democratic candidates have a hard time stating what they are: Progressive? Moderate? Dem Socialist? Politics is a marketing game. Winners talk benefits. Say you believe in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare + all Democratic policies that benefit working, disabled and retired Americans. 000
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Hillary called Biden's plan to run in '24 a tragic mistake. No, Hillary, the mistake was Obama picking you over Biden in '16. Biden would have beaten Trump and then won a second term in '20. Like Harris, misogyny hurt you. And, like Harris, you didn't take the gloves off and sell your Party hard. 052
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I'm seeing lots of articles on what the Democratic Party plan should be for the '26 and '28 elections. Simple: Sell 92 years of legislation for the common good and show how Republicans tried to block it all and are still trying to dismantle it. For detailed lists read 'A Fistful of Aces.' Amazon> 050
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 28/05/2026James Talarico will be making a mistake if he focuses too much on Paxton's legal problems. Too many voters like a bad boy and elect them. Witness Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. Talarico needs to emphasize what Democrats have legislated for 92 years and what he will do protect those programs. 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Forget the 'Autopsy.' Read the speeches that Democrats should give in order to win in '26 and '28. Find the winning strategies and tactics on pages 145 and 167 in "A Fistful of Aces.' Paper and Kindle on Amazon. Democrats: Sell 92 years of legislation enacted for working and retired Americans 020
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Democrats, sell your Party's 92 years of legislative successes for the common good. See pages 113-114 in the political novel 'A Fistful of Aces' for a complete list. Joe Biden was the most successful legislative president since LBJ in 1964-66 and FDR in 1933-35. See two entries below. 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Bills passed by President Biden and Democratic Congress during Biden Administration -Cares Act, Covid Relief -Infrastructure Act -Inflation Reduction Act (including major climate change funding) -Semiconductor Manufacturing Law (Chips and Science Act) -Gun Safety Bill -1.7 Trillion Spending Bill 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Biden Administration and Democratic Congress-Sponsored Gun Safety Law, 2022 -First bipartisan major gun legislation in 30 years. -First gun legislation since 1994: Democratic-sponsored Federal Assault Weapons Ban. -Expands law preventing people convicted of spousal abuse from buying guns. 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 10/05/20264 levels of competence: Conscious competent. They know they know. Unconscious competent. They don’t know they know. Conscious incompetent. They know they don’t know. And finally, the unconscious incompetent. They don’t know they don’t know. Ideal example of the unconscious incompetent: Donald Trump 020
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 05/05/2026When is the last time you heard a Democratic politician say: 'Vote Democratic?' Getting elected is basically a marketing game. You sell your benefits and ask for the order. People need help to buy. Give them reasons to buy your candidacy, the benefits. Then ask for the order: 'Vote Democratic.' 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 24/04/2026"Neck deep in the Big Muddy and the big fool said to push on." 020
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The Democratic brand is strong, with A Fistful of Aces. But it has been diminished by Republican disinformation. Trump and his Republicans create economic uncertainty. Foreign countries are hesitant about buying U.S. Treasury Bonds and investing in the U.S. Uncertainty is hell. Vote Democratic. 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Referencing the quote below: Joe Biden was expert in making the Democratic Party the first choice for voters. In 2020, he sold the Party's benefits accrued since the New Deal gaining 81 million votes, a record. Biden sold pocketbook issues. Learn how: Read the new political novel: A Fistful of Aces 000
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 27/03/2026“You have to be brave and make bold statements. After all you are competing for first choice in everybody’s list of preferences. It’s no good having lots of second choices. People don’t buy second choices.” –John Stephenson True in business and politics. 000
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Democrats, end every speech and discussion with the prompt: Vote Democratic! First principle of marketing and sales: Ask for the order. Second principle: List AND show the list of your benefits. And Democrats, listen, You have 92 years of benefits for Working Americans. What do Republicans have : 0 030
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Listen Up Democrats: Polish your brand. For decades, you’ve achieved massively for working Americans. Now go out and sell it. Democrats hold a fistful of aces and a hatful of faces. Play your winning hand now. Content is King and Democrats have plenty of it. Sell your kitchen-table policies now. 030
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Democratic candidates running in '26 must show how Republicans have recently opposed hundreds of Democratic-sponsored bills for the common good. Talking isn't enough. Show the list. Find the list in the new political novel, "A Fistful of Aces.'' Put the list on computer screens, podcasts, more. 062
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 23/01/2026The political novel, 'A Fistful of Aces' lists 37 pieces of major legislation for the common good passed by Democrats in the period 1933-2022. All 37 bills were opposed by Republicans. Forget focusing on the extremist Trump and hammer Republicans by showing, not just talking about, their opposition. 082
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 12/01/2026We encourage Democrats to ask for the order, the first principle of selling. Listen candidates: you are selling. How do you ask for the order? It's simple. Do as the candidate in the political novel 'A Fistful of Aces' does. He leads a chant from his audiences: "Vote, Vote, Vote Democratic! 040
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Democrats: Use the value of people-in-the-street interviews. You know the benefits of 92 years of Democratic-sponsored legislation. You will be surprised to learn how many voters haven't thought about it. Politics has heavy components of marketing and sales. Sell your benefits and ask for the order. 070
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Democrats: Sell the benefits of your legislative record hard now, using a heavy load of visuals. Talk is not enough when you seek competitive advantage. Achieve that by not just talking about the benefits you deliver. Show them. The optic nerve is 22 times stronger than the auditory nerve. Use it. 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Read the new political novel, 'A Fistful Aces and a Hatful of Faces.’ John Martin, a Latino Congressman and fighting Democrat, runs a gloves-off, visuals-rich, donor-backed campaign for U.S. Senator from Texas in 2026. Democrats hold the winning cards and Martin plays them to win. Read how. 030
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 17/12/2025MLK Jr. popularized: "The arc of history bends toward justice." It's now bending in the wrong direction. Fighting Democrats can restore the truism by getting back control of the government. What to do and how to do it is in the new political novel, 'A Fistful of Aces and a Hatful of Faces.' Amazon> 010
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Pairing Democrats with Republicans in health-care discussions is laughable. Democrats legislated Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA and children's health initiatives. Republicans voted against all. Vote Democratic in '26 and '28 to save these programs. And read 'A Fistful of Aces and a Hatful of Faces.' 030

Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Millions of underinformed, low-and-middle income voters went for Trump and other Republican candidates in 2024. The Democratic Party story has got to become a gutsy, winning one in '26 and '28 and this book shows how. Read 'A Fistful of Aces' as it builds the crux of the case and delivers votes. 030
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 30/11/2025After the recent good wins in several states, Democrats mustn't get complacent. As Andrew Grove, former President of Intel said, “Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.” 2026 will be tough. Democrats must take the gloves off. Read 'A Fistful of Aces.' 020
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Democrats labeled as the party of elites is ludicrous in light of its kitchen-table policies delivered to everyday Americans. What Democrats have legislated for working and retired families has been and is now the most effective message and strategy. Read the political novel, ‘A Fistful of Aces.’ 051
Richard J. Noyes @rnoyes1.bsky.social · 26/11/2025The Democrats problem in a nutshell is not selling 92 years of legislation and executive orders that benefit working families. Democratic politicians act as though, 'Everybody knows we did that.' They don't. Talk to people in the street and read the new political novel 'A Fistful of Aces' and win. 040
