Huh? The theory that Dems who voted for IWR don't win GEs has been right every time.

The theory that pro-NAFTA Dems don't win GEs has been right every election since 2000. What are you talking about?

You're also wrong about Social Security. Obama in 2008 did not have the long record of proposing Social Security cuts that Biden does. And he didn't propose Chained CPI until 2013, after the 2012 election. Obama wasn't dumb, he wasn't going to propose SS cuts right before an election.
