I'm sure. But in general, if you're talking about how politicians should frame their campaigns, really the only thing that matters is whether the framing helps or hurts their odds.
It wasn't the topic he was responding to, but I feel that it was something he was implying.
I can't make a claim about how it impacted his odds, it's a counterfactual and an N of 1. Maybe he'd have lost by a larger margin without it. I'm saying it's not a compelling example as a guide.
Sure. But if the argument is that Democrats should be saying things the way that Will Stancil, the "only Democrat in the country" saying things this way, wouldn't it be a much better argument if it worked?
