    Trolls are "dunking on" this, so I stand corrected -- NYT forecasted McSally as the favorite when I said it last week. Still maintain that Sinema engaged in uniquely awful triangulation that was electorally disadvantageous, notwithstanding her slim victoryhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1060205666843942915 …

    Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) was a uniquely awful candidate: gave enough of an *appearance* of left-wing radicalism to alienate "moderates," but offered no policy enticements to actual left-wingers, therefore triangulating her way to defeat in a state that was eminently winnable for Dems

        I think the correct response is that there is enormous potential for error in generating narratives from narrow electoral results. It's the kind of thing you often take others to task for!

        If you follow “I stand corrected” with “Still maintain” you do not, in fact, believe you stand corrected. But you should.

        What's your justification for saying it was "electorally disadvantageous?" You know you can disagree w/ her politically w/out twisting reality, right?

        she won a Senate race in a state where the incumbent Republican governor won by 15%. I think it's pretty difficult to argue she took an "electorally disadvantageous" route

        Michael Tracey starts from the conclusion that Democrats who try to appeal to moderates are "uniquely bad", then work backwards to arrive at his dogma that Sinema isn't pure enough to win... and that people pointing out she did, in fact, win, are "trolls".
