She helped cost us the White House in 1988 and 2004. In both cases, we lost essentially unloseable races (Dukakis was seventeen freaking points AHEAD after the convention) because we did what she told us to do and left every right-wing smear unchallenged, while refusing to defend the idea of being "liberal" when both Bushes attacked it

Bringing her back means running the 2020 race the SAME way.

It means giving up on winning.

What possible justification could there be for EVER running another campaign the way the Dukakis and Kerry campaigns were run?
