about how weird it is and then see what you think about the candidates and it is the first thing that seems to be sticking with Republicans (and driving them crazy). Democrats always have a tendency to want to debate policy while republicans are better at framing the issue the way they want it framed; in simple terms addressing only the most extreme view of what's being discussed (even if it's a lie, like babies are being aborted after birth) and having that stick. This seems to be working similarly (though far more accurate).
