      Bernie Sanders' striking new ad perfectly captures how flawed his theory of change really is: http://wapo.st/1OzdoE8

      @ddayen that is a strange response, especially given that the post explicitly says that his inspiring people is a good thing

      @ddayen right. it's flawed. does that mean it doesn't also have a lot of good qualities? no.

      @ThePlumLineGS You also suggest a Dem working at margins will be more successful w/o message of hope than with one. Why? @ddayen

      @emptywheel @ddayen That's not what the piece says, exactly. Here, why don't you tell me how Dems take back the House before 2020?

      @ThePlumLineGS How is it not what piece says? If Hillary is right to RUN on depressing base, how does that help winning at margins? @ddayen

      @emptywheel @ddayen The piece says that Clinton should take lessons from the fact that Bernie inspires the base! Did you not see that?

      @ThePlumLineGS I see where it says it has forced Clinton to offer more ambitious proposals. Is that the lesson? @ddayen

          @emptywheel @ddayen also see the line about how Clinton should take lessons about his inspiring of young voters 1/2

          @ThePlumLineGS Right. That seems to be divorced from your conclusion. Hillary's theory of change, by itself isn't enough. @ddayen

          @emptywheel @ddayen That's a fair point. I thought that was the implicit point in saying she needs to learn from his inspiring people

          @emptywheel @ddayen I absolutely agree with this. I think Clinton should be pressed on how she covers the remaining uninsured

          @emptywheel @ddayen What's galling about this is I've repeatedly written about Clinton failure to inspire base: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/11/09/heres-hillary-clintons-big-2016-challenge-in-one-chart/ …
