Noah Rothman: Gillibrand Has a Reputation for Taking Two Positions on Issues That’s More Politically Salient to Her

‘She’s a progressive when she needs to be’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ROTHMAN: “I think there’s a lot of hood spa in the senator calling herself brave. She has an earned reputation for taking two positions on whatever issue has to be more politically selling for her. She’s a Progressive when she needs to be. Centrist middle of the reader when it was valuable for her to do that. While I believe I think you’re probably right that Progressive, idealists and the people who populate campaigns and donate to campaigns are very interested in policy, I’m not sure if that’s how average voters think. When you talk to people in the focus group, they talk about what they hear from democratic voters is they want to win. They don’t necessarily care how they get there. I mean, it would be very valuable to have a Progressive ied log who can win but the winning part is the most important part. They evaluate what they see in front of them.”
