The #1 biggest problem with the Democratic Party is buying the NYT/WaPo narrative that the key to their success is winning "centrists." That's complete garbage. Policy oriented people whose vote is up for grabs simply do not exist.
This is a not a good take.
The new Republican defense of Trump is a campaign to discredit Robert Mueller
If you haven't noticed, the right wing media is a zillion times better at creating a compelling narrative than the reality based media. That's their strength: when you can just make stuff up to fill in the gaps, it's way easier to be persuasive than when you are actually dealing in messy, uncertain reality. Giving the right wing media even meager truths reported widely by evil left wing media sources makes their narrative seem much more legitimate. Look at how much more effective Benghazi and her emails are than Uranium One. I mean it's all bull****, but Benghazi and her emails are based on actual news stories while Uranium One is full stop conspiratorial nonsense without a story that is worth printing in a serious publication.
Unless you're contending that the right wing will figure out
something equally compelling to attack Mueller on and the texts just happened to be the thing they chose out of convenience, which might have some truth. Or if you think the alternative fact media does not in fact fuel Trumpism and America's new affinity for fascism. Otherwise, we need to avoid unforced errors.
