Not sure where or to whom you were telling that, because the message that was most yelled was "not good enough, I'm not supporting her".

The right is always united when it counts. Of course Russian money helps them get the memo.

not good enough

That's the way it's interpreted when we say <policy that was compromised until the base doesn't care and republicans still oppose it> is a bad policy.

There is no median voter who wants means-tested tax-breaks for new families, but would oppose checks for new families.

When we say "not good enough", we're saying it's a stupid way of spending political capital that doesn't actually gain you any votes.
