      @ThePlumLineGS But YOU are making more extended claim, which is why you should consider "wonk" policing that Hillary's surrogates engage in

      @emptywheel I'm skeptical of this idea that "wonk policing" is inherently illegitimate. It seems like the policy argument we want to have

      @ThePlumLineGS WUH? You endorse replacing actual rational debate w/bigwigs saying "only what I believe is rational"? That's nuts!

      @emptywheel This "wonk policing" is simply *argument.* I'm not endorsing their view, just saying it's not inherently out of bounds

      @ThePlumLineGS Um, yes. But it is argument based NOT on evidence and outcomes but on self-selecting certification divorced from facts.

      @emptywheel Fine, but it is not INHERENTLY out of bounds or illegitimate.

      @ThePlumLineGS But it is PRECISELY what Bernie doing. After months and months of Hillary doing same w/no criticism now it's out of bounds?

      @emptywheel Let's back up. What's your problem with my piece? (A number of Bernie backers have tweeted it approvingly, BTW.)

      @ThePlumLineGS You further suggest Bernie's just about corruption and not competence. Which it is.

      @emptywheel If anything, this piece is sympathetic to Bernie's argument. Come on. This sensitivity is getting out of hand.

      @ThePlumLineGS I'm raising it because a WHOLE bunch of Dems are ignoring how the official party has worked to squelch rationality.

          @ThePlumLineGS Again, you're responding as if I'm being sensitive. I'm not. I'm pointing out problem w/your analysis.

          @emptywheel In what sense is this an unfair characterization of Bernie's broader argument?

          @ThePlumLineGS Obviously it will take more than 140 characters to explain but part of what you're missing is Hillary's arg.
