John Kenneth Galbraith wrote that Dukakis tried to make a speech similar to Reagan and Bush. He focused on how to make the public sector more efficient in order to reduce taxes, instead of how to increase the social safety net. Galbraith considered that Bush won because the people though that the original was better than the copy.
