Finkelthink
The modern school of political strategy which holds that, despite conventional belief to the contrary, very few elections are won by convincing supporters of other parties or candidates to support your candidate instead. Finkelthink doctrine holds that - in the modern world - voters' minds are already made up by the time an election begins. The trick instead is /to discourage supporters of your opponent from voting at all/.
To do this, a candidate must run a highly personalized negative campaign against the opponent: don’t demonize the party, demonize the candidate. People can be made to hate individuals more easily than institutions (and also with far more animus).
Facts matter little in the Finkelthink model. If some perceptual flaw on an opponent's part can be readily identified, then it can also be magnified by suggestion to catastrophic proportions. Even a 'bad' candidate may win a race handily if - once the unthinking masses have been finkeled with -- his opponent appears prohibitively worse by comparison.
Core principles of Finkelthink:
(1) 80% of the public doesn’t care about the news
(2) Perception, not content, is what matters most to mid-wit viewers
(3) The right 30-second soundbite can manipulate millions to your side (that is, away from the side of your opponent)
Carried out to a sufficient level, Finkelthink and its analogues can transform an apparent buffoon into the next Leader of the Free World.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
