Actually, anyone who knows history would know that he didn't campaign on that phrase. He issued that challenge in his Inaugural Address.
Never mind that niggle, though.
The rest of your post is post-hoc fallacy and sharpshooter fallacy, so meh.
Ok.
I really don't need to to apologize for my objections to teaching young voters that what they should vote for "my" candidate because he can win, and that's more important than telling the world what he really wants as an end-of-political-line, voting citizen. You're likely as not to discourage people from voting at all that way.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
