I am in James Carvilles camp of stop trying to win arguments and win elections then you control the topic! Defund the police is a loser and you can discuss and post all you want but MJ will not beat John with that messaging!https://twitter.com/ElisaCardnell/status/1271078047471501318 …
Look, I am not saying all politicians need to say the phrase. Controlling the narrative is important, so we let candidates in tough races focus on the actual policy. The only people making it an argument are our own side. And if don't win elections, we can't change policy.
