Bill Scher, an author, political analyst, and pundit in America first rose to prominence in the early 2000s.

Born and raised in New York City in September 1972, Schercredits growing up in a city as diverse as New York – as well as his timestudying at Oberlin College – is a big part of why he has always been soattracted to liberal policies and a more progressive look at how America cangrow into the future.

Self-identifying as a “proud liberal” individual, Mr. Scherhas also been known to take more than a few controversial positions compared totraditional liberal agendas.

Not at all shy about bumping heads against theestablishment, particularly those that describe themselves as liberal orleft-leaning with policies and politics that are decidedly more conservative orright-leaning when looked at a little closer, Mr. Scher has never been one toshy away from rather strong beliefs about how this country can come together,heal, and best move forward with the interests of all citizens in mind.

For example, in 2006 Scher published a book called Wait!Dont Move to Canada: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America, a bookat the time that wasn’t all that well received by those on the left side of theaisle.

Scher was described by the Hartford Advocate as “one of themost brilliant political minds in the United States”, and this book was awatershed moment for his career.

This book was aimed at connecting with liberals andconservatives that felt as though they had been left behind by the two partiesmoving rapidly apart from one another – leaving the middle of the nationexposed, unhappy, and tired of unprincipled politics and a general ineptitudeof our elected officials to get anything done.

This book went on to cover a “10 Step Plan” designed to helpbring about a more liberal vision of what the US government could and shouldbecome, a plan that revolved around:

All of which was really aimed at embracing the term“liberal” – so often used derisively – and owning it as something to be proudof, something to be worn almost as a badge of honor.

Establishment Democrats weren’t all that excited about thesemessages, but as we’ve seen over the last 10 years those in the New Left havereally embraced almost every single one of the 10 steps outlined in Scher’sbook to great effect.

Mr. Scher has also had his work published in the New YorkTimes, the Huffington Post, and has appeared on C-SPAN as well.

Quickly rising to prominence in this new left, Scher hascontinued to contribute to the liberal movement with appearances on MSNBC, CNN,NBC news, and a host of other traditional media outlets.

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 with the Campaign for America’s Future and the website OurFuture.org

Today, Scher’s work can regularly be found on the Real ClearPolitics platform as well as the online television program called “The DMZ” heputs on with a conservative American political analyst Matt Lewis, a programthat can be found on BloggingHeads.tv.

Mr. Scher has also conducted a number of speakingengagements at colleges and universities throughout the United States, mostrecently speaking to those at Williams College in November 2018 regarding thefuture of American politics, how the two American parties involved and continueto do so, and how he believes the race for 2020 is going to shape up and shakeout.

He continues to make appearances on television programs likeThe Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell as well as Up with SteveKornacki, but the overwhelming majority of his most recent work ispublished through Real Clear Politics or POLITICO.
