Dear Democrats: Here's How Not to Blow It - RAHM EMANUEL

[Demsrule86]

39. Because they have won over voters ...we have not done this...we need to get out and win the folks

over to our side...but you can't just say...time for a candidate who is really left...it is our turn when the country is center left...you will go down in flames. We won the House in 20 and elections this year with moderate candidates...I have heard on this board how 18 shows how a progressive can win, but it doesn't. It shows that when we have a big tent with progressives and moderates we win...without this,we lose.

Given Warren's policy proposals, she will lose a general IMHO...sure I will vote for her and you will vote for her, but We need more than Democrats...and this mean appealing to the center. And Republicans are faithful party people-us not so much...we act so superior about this but who has the judges, who has gotten their policy through>

The Greens should change their name ...they have damaged climate change policy and the environment so much. We need to vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination and along the way consider electability as the single most important 'issue' there is...because you don't get to do anything unless you win in 20 and beyond...and by win, I mean an Electoral College win.
