    Aside from having the right position, what's great here is Bernie's whole tone -- the sarcastic incredulity he applies to elite euphemisms. That's the way you reach people.https://twitter.com/Ventuckyspaz/status/1142649914364575744 …

    "He was just doing a limited strike" says the 'Face the nation' host “Oh…just a limited strike!" @BernieSanders quipped, "Oh, I’m sorry, I just didn't know that it's okay to simply attack another country with bombs. That’s a limited strike? That’s an act of warfare,” pic.twitter.com/JgbLkkakX7

        When was the last time you were convinced by someone sarcastically dismissing an idea you held?

        His job isn’t to convince HER but her viewers. Easy enough to be convinced by someone sarcastically taking down the viewpoint of someone else.

        If E Warren can channel this tone (and, “here’s the deal,” thus transcend, when the situation calls for it, the righteous Methodist demeanor that motors her often excellent disquisitions) she’ll be more successful than fellow Methodists George McG. + HRC.

        It’s appropriate here. But he doesn’t know when to turn the sarcasm off and he’s offended many Democratic voters with it.
