      1. Elizabeth Warren is multifaceted, but in elections identity gets simplified. Her campaign needs to settle on which identity they want to go with: Warren the wonk or Warren the warrior.

      To me, that's like saying a trial lawyer should either be quick on their feet or should be deeply knowledgeable about the facts of the case. Both. Both is more than the sum of the two parts. Warrior Wonk Warren is who she is, and it's what works. Docere, delectare, movere.

      Trial lawyer is displaying skills, politician is selling an identity. It helps if identity is simple, often to the point of being a cartoon (Trump, Sanders)

          USE of skills, not display of skills. Skills are part of identity.

          FYI, many cartoon warriors have distinctive styles that distinguish them from other cartoon warriors. Wonkishness is not hard to combine with the warrior business. It's about the precision and angle of the cut.

          While I’m not saying you’re wrong, I do hate how much we feel the need to assume that voters need to be spoon-fed a cartoonish, simplistic line. That’s not the mark of a great country.

          A simple identity bores people. Even Trump--who is at heart a dull, obvious man--benefits greatly from a more complicated "identity," such that media & supporters will attach strategy and good faith to obvious flailing. Obama, Clinton, and Reagan also all had complex identities.

          Yes. And Sanders is seen as a cartoon by those who don't like him, but they "can't explain" his large following exactly because they fail to acknowledge his complex identity.

          That actually seems like a serious problem that could be remedied by a competent political correspondent at a prominent media outlet.

          I’m sick and goddam tired of cartoons. Let’s revisit BHO the thoughtful-cool-guy-wonk-professor-POC for a moment. Nuance doesn’t sell to the MAGAts, but there’s no payoff in selling to them anyway - they’re already claimed.

          The voters do suck! They are definitely the ones to blame!
