"Sanders’ supporters are wrong to try to wave this attack away as a dumb distraction. (If this is irrelevant, then I never want to hear about Hillary Clinton having been a Goldwater Girl in 1964 ever again.) Because as a campaign tactic, it could have some salience in a general election. Not to convert undecided voters necessarily, though the number of moderates who barely pay attention to politics and could be swayed by such a sound bite is probably a lot higher than many partisans realize. But it could easily be used as a cheap scare to motivate conservative voters to get to the polls."
