    Warren spent four hours taking selfies tonight in NYC. Is that a good use of a presidential candidate's time? I'm not even trying to be sarcastic, really just wondering what the cost-benefit calculation is

        The logic makes sense. Seeing someone in your social circle in a photo with a candidate is probably far more effective advertising than any robo-call or TV ad

        The calculation is that every person she’s taken the selfie with, is gonna turn into a voter

        It is actually great idea marketing wise. All about the personal connection. If she takes a minute each person to talk to them and take a selfie, you are very likely to keep them as a supporter and more likely for them to talk about you with their friends

        It’s the only way they can sell there base that she can draw a crowd like Trump. Unfortunately for her Trump can do this in all 50.

        The cost is getting elected, the benefit is social media clout. You're welcome.

        Irrelevant. One cannot perfectly calculate such stuff. Case in point sanders voice at last debate. Holding speeches before that debate was a bloody bad use of his time. He should have just taken some photos instead

        I would say yes. Meaningful for the people that get to meet her, story and pics get spread on social, and it builds a “brand” that she’s of the people.

        Just from a pure cost-benefit analysis, it probably does make sense--builds goodwill, has a multiplier effect--but you probably have to be a serious (or a certain kind of) candidate for it to work. It would be a flop if Beto or Harris did it. I could see it working for Yang.

        I had to leave the FB for tonight. My feed over there is awful. OMG...20K people in Wash Square. (every event holder will tell you that it's very difficult to put 8-10K in there...) I really hate imperial feminism. i really do.
