They're wrong if they think they can win this as an ideological debate.

They have to speak for themselves. by Chris Kofinis

They have to speak for themselves.

We have seen a consistent pattern, which is Hillary seen as more electable and seen as having the right experience but they love Sanders' message, if Sanders gets his message out and wins Iowa and New Hampshire, then she has a problem, a major problem. Because people will pay attention, and when they do, it will move them. The question is how many?

Everyone wants to say he is not Obama, he is not good-looking or charismatic or a great speaker like Obama, but there is a fraying of confidence toward traditional leaders and everyone is ignoring it and praying that it goes away, if Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire, he could make it close in South Carolina, and potentially beat her in other states.

People like him, people want to like him, he’s charismatic, and he’s got a very powerful personal story to say the least.

The president miscalculated in making this about Elizabeth Warren, that backfired badly. It only served to raise awareness of the issue and drive people away from his position, it never makes sense to make these kinds of issues personal.
