Bill Scher, an author, political analyst, and pundit in America first rose to prominence in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born and raised in New York City in September 1972, Scher\ncredits growing up in a city as diverse as New York \u2013 as well as his time\nstudying at Oberlin College \u2013 is a big part of why he has always been so\nattracted to liberal policies and a more progressive look at how America can\ngrow into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Self-identifying as a \u201cproud liberal\u201d individual, Mr. Scher\nhas also been known to take more than a few controversial positions compared to\ntraditional liberal agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not at all shy about bumping heads against the\nestablishment, particularly those that describe themselves as liberal or\nleft-leaning with policies and politics that are decidedly more conservative or\nright-leaning when looked at a little closer, Mr. Scher has never been one to\nshy away from rather strong beliefs about how this country can come together,\nheal, and best move forward with the interests of all citizens in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, in 2006 Scher published a book called Wait!\nDon’t Move to Canada: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America<\/em>, a book\nat the time that wasn\u2019t all that well received by those on the left side of the\naisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scher was described by the Hartford Advocate as \u201cone of the\nmost brilliant political minds in the United States\u201d, and this book was a\nwatershed moment for his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book was aimed at connecting with liberals and\nconservatives that felt as though they had been left behind by the two parties\nmoving rapidly apart from one another \u2013 leaving the middle of the nation\nexposed, unhappy, and tired of unprincipled politics and a general ineptitude\nof our elected officials to get anything done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book went on to cover a \u201c10 Step Plan\u201d designed to help\nbring about a more liberal vision of what the US government could and should\nbecome, a plan that revolved around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of which was really aimed at embracing the term\n\u201cliberal\u201d \u2013 so often used derisively \u2013 and owning it as something to be proud\nof, something to be worn almost as a badge of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Establishment Democrats weren\u2019t all that excited about these\nmessages, but as we\u2019ve seen over the last 10 years those in the New Left have\nreally embraced almost every single one of the 10 steps outlined in Scher\u2019s\nbook to great effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Scher has also had his work published in the New York\nTimes, the Huffington Post, and has appeared on C-SPAN as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quickly rising to prominence in this new left, Scher has\ncontinued to contribute to the liberal movement with appearances on MSNBC, CNN,\nNBC news, and a host of other traditional media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A regular contributor to online publications like POLITICO Magazine as well as The Week, Scher has (of late) been much more active working as an editor and blogger<\/a> with the Campaign for America\u2019s Future and the website OurFuture.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Scher\u2019s work can regularly be found on the Real Clear\nPolitics platform as well as the online television program called \u201cThe DMZ\u201d he\nputs on with a conservative American political analyst Matt Lewis, a program\nthat can be found on BloggingHeads.tv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Scher has also conducted a number of speaking\nengagements at colleges and universities throughout the United States, most\nrecently speaking to those at Williams College in November 2018 regarding the\nfuture of American politics, how the two American parties involved and continue\nto do so, and how he believes the race for 2020 is going to shape up and shake\nout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He continues to make appearances on television programs like\nThe Last Word with Lawrence O\u2019Donnell<\/em> as well as Up with Steve\nKornacki<\/em>, but the overwhelming majority of his most recent work is\npublished through Real Clear Politics or POLITICO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bill Scher, an author, political analyst, and pundit in America first rose to prominence in the early 2000s.
