You are so conditioned to think that she doesn't need to run on the issues that you say that should be her campaign strategy. It's [BLEEP] dumb. The voter should ONLY be concerned with what policies the politician will produce, but, because you've gotten used to Democrats controlling the narrative, you give them a pass because it's the right "strategy."

I've explained this over and over.  If she wants to win, read that again, IF SHE WANTS TO WIN, she should run on image and likeability.  

I'm not saying I want her to do that. Read that again.  I'M NOT SAYING I WANT HER TO DO THAT.  I'm saying that is her path to victory.  She has an advantage in that area that she doesn't have on the issues.  

It's how JFK won.  It's how Barack Obama won.  Image.  This is reality.  I'm not saying it ought to be that way, or that that's all we should be concerned about.  I'm saying it's how a lot of politicians win races.  It's not my wish that she should do that.  But it's how she could win.

It's like if I say, "The Texans can beat us if they control the line of scrimmage."  And your response is, "Oh, so you want the Texans to win?"  Don't be obtuse.  You are capable of understand what I am saying.

No, it's like saying if the Texans want to win, they need to have the best uniforms. The Jaguars strategy should be to score more TDs. It's an asinine scenario. They aren't even playing the same game. It would ONLY make sense in a world where the refs could give the game to the team with the best uniform. 

You moderate Republicans have been conditioned to accept different terms. It should offend you that she only has to run on image and likeability. It should speak volumes to how disparate the standards are for Democrats compared to Republicans. She's not even playing the same game, and you have the audacity to fixate on Trump attacking people who propagate these different standards like it's normal. It's not.
