The Rising Tide of Populism in the Dem Party Spells Trouble for Hillary

[sabrina 1]

174. Supporters of Hillary could help her immensely by not referring to those who do not, as 'purists',

one of those talking point words thought up by some expensive Think Tank for the sole purpose of slamming Progressive Dems.

Hyperbole is not a good tool either in order to gain support for a candidate who is already exptremely unpopular with Progressive Dems.

Such as the following:

the purist will jump all over at their first chance of her not putting every CEO in jail save COSCOs

Unless you can produce some evidence that Progressives have ever demanded the jailing of 'every CEO except COSCOS', that is what is known as hyperbole and is more likely to lose critical support for the candidate than gain any.

These are old tactics, tactics that make you wonder 'what are they trying to achieve'?

They tell us nothing about the candidate other than there is a reluctance to stay focused on him/her for some reason. Maybe because there isn't enough to say that is positive about the candidate's potential appeal to the voters. That is my conclusion whenever I see those now old, familiar talking points generally aimed at Progressive Dems, for whom they were invented. Which begs the question, if the candidates supporters want to win, why are they working to hard to drive the very people she will need, AWAY from her??

I never understood that.

Makes you wonder.
