Dems lose when they allow the right to define the terms of the debate.
That, IMO, is why Warren trips them out so much - she redefines the narrative and they don't know how to deal with someone who won't play within the GOP frame.
The Obama/Clinton theory of politics in a nutshell: let the Republicans set the terms of debate, operate within them, try to expose contradictions, etc. The logic that led to, and doomed, the Merrick Garland pick. Etc.
