Sanders to visit Mississippi for anniversary of MLK assassination

[JCanete]

110. so he is out there, talking with the mayor about incredibly important subject matter that

nowhere near gets enough attention, and rather than appreciating that these issues are being discussed and that he is bringing his current profile to them, you would rather focus on tearing him down and making him about himself. Even if he were an egomaniac of epic proportions, the exposure he is giving these issues would still be the most important part of the equation if you actually cared about these issues. And if you thought him wrong about the issues, then you might instead focus there. In the context of doing an event on them though, this is only bad if you don't want them to have exposure, or if you think you are already charged with undercutting any possible 2020 ambitions.

In contrast, I assure you that when those politicians who are not my favorites stand for an issue I care about, I praise them for it. I give them credit for it. I may give reserved support or continue to withhold it until I see more of the same, but I certainly will not bash a candidate or leader for promoting something important.

As to dem outreach...this is outreach of ideas. It is by far more important. It is introducing and talking about these ideas with people that actually changes minds. Not brand sales. The brand needs to speak to those ideas.
