      These same tactics can be used effectively against Bernie and Warren. Every political candidate has family members with business interests and every single one of them can be accused of improper dealingshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1180122653211926530 …

      A scandal that takes down Trump & Biden's presidential prospects is a win-win.

      The same tactics will be used against them but they'll be in better position to rally their base because they offer actual policies. Running someone from the mushy center makes you more vulnerable to this sort of attack.

      Voters don’t vote on policy. Therefore having left policy isn’t something that will prevent conservative propaganda from working. Warren had a kid with a healthcare business right? And we all know about Burlington College. They could easily turn into national scandals.

      That's a mistake. Voters vote on outcomes and deliverables. Trump promised deliverables to the GOP base (judges) and they stuck with him despite everything (access Hollywood etc).

          Political science has shown us plenty of times voters don’t choose candidates based on policies. Its about values/relationships. Which is why Trump voters don’t care about the wall not being built, or the trade war hurting them. And why lefties cant flip the white working class

          It is also why the left has such a hard time reaching Black voters, specifically in the south, which is a big reason why they struggle nationally

          This is not what Trump promised his base. God, you're terrible.

          If that were true, why do polls say that the second choice of many Sanders supporters is Biden? Unless the deliverable is just 'electing another white guy.'

          You have no academic training or professional experience in politics or public policy. Stick to dishing out Harley Quinn hot takes.

          The idea that Trump voters made their decision based on “deliverables” is beyond risible.

          Read a book on voting behavior and voter knowledge. For the love of God.
