@NateSilver538 @davidshor @jbouie @jonathanchait It's true that the arguments it took on where quite small c conservative and those were effective. It's a big complicated story.

@davidshor @jbouie @jonathanchait I mean it’s a bit of an unanswerable counterfactual. I just your overarching theory is missing a bit some kind of account of the fact “what’s popular” and what people’s “ideologies” are isn’t fixed: that’s one of the most important fascinating stories to tell about politics! — PolitiTweet.org
