Except that ask a single Trump voter to name the policy they went with, and it’s a crap shoot if they *can* name one. And his, give him this, are as reductive as they come. We give people the verbal version of a white paper and wonder “why don’t they get it?”

if you'd prefer to change the topic, fine, but please don't pretend I was already talking about it because if I were I would have said things relevant to that topic instead of what I *did* say, which isn't

It’s not a topic change. It’s a comparison. And given that we’re talking who won and who lost - it’s the key comparison.
