    Go find the data and show me there is a political cost to a pivot, because I’ve provided data to say there isn’t, and in-fact, not pivoting is costing her the election.

    You provided half the data and are trying to get people to draw meaningful conclusions about it, while refusing to even acknowledge you’re working with incomplete data.

    I’m just confused why you think you can lay out exactly half of the equation, know that you’re not presenting the whole picture, and say with certainty that the data proves you correct.

        So then how many votes do you think she loses from a pivot? How many percentage points? I fully accept that she will gain votes from a segment of the base that may not vote for her otherwise. I am not arguing that at all. I want to know about the other piece you say youve laid out. You’ve presented all the data, walk us through that piece…

          The same number we lost when people said Biden voters were going to depart in droves if we swapped the nominee.

          0

          Goose-egg.

          Nada.

            Okay we’re just going to have to agree to disagree then.

            Either way, let’s do what we can to push the odds further in her favor, even if you don’t think she’s going to do it herself. I’ll be out canvassing again on Saturday, lots of time to win this thing!
