Jon: Having positions that are rational when explained, as opposed to positions that sound intuitively appealing without explanation, is generally a political liability. Eric: Yeah, it’s potentially problematic. Maybe once those raised hands at the debate make it into GOP attack ads, we’ll see movement.
