Subject: Re: Trump: Forget POWs, They Deserve It
I think that framing is strategically poor.
But is it?
I agree that this framing is not going to appeal to young male voters - the actual or wannabe alpha-types. That demo is pretty well lost to Trump. Instead, Cheney is appealing to women and their traditional role of nurturing family. Liz Cheney is nothing if not a "traditional" family type. She's not speaking to the entire democrat base, she's talking to Republican women who aren't thrilled about the idea of their boys growing up to be like Trump and the overly aggressive men that support him.
This election will hinge on turnout. And if Cheney can get Republican women to turn out and vote for Harris instead of staying home and not voting for Trump, that's what Harris needs.
