      "Circulating"? Not one voter in 50 has seen this footage or footage like it. That will change when it's in major ad buys.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1229137594681659392 …

      This stuff has been circulating for a long time. It hasn't had an impact yet. Maybe it will if it reaches a critical mass, but that's something we have to see.

      Wouldn’t the people this message would be most effective with already dislike Sanders?

      Every negative message about every candidate is *most* effective with voters who already dislike them. The question is how effective these messages would be with undecideds and persuadables. I suspect very.

      There are a lot of undecided and persuadables in the the primaries! Why isn't it being used now?

          A few guesses: 1) Other candidates don't want to alienate Bernie supporters. 2) Even outside groups are worried about making Bernie folks so mad they don't vote for eventual nominee. 3) Everyone is unsure of impact in a Dem primary even if they think it'd be fatal in general.

          As for why attacks aren’t being launched, that does continue to puzzle me. It’s exactly what happened with Trump in 2016.

          Maybe it would be effective, but I lean toward doubting its effectiveness in 2020. On the other hand, all the more reason for an interested party to test it out now.

          Because people like you keep saying it would be ineffective, and that moderates should attack each other and not go after Bernie.

          Because the GOP is keeping its powder dry just as they did in 2016. Come on you are that blind, are you?
