Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) wrote a "memo" to the two dozen Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls, urging them to deliver a message — not seek Twitter praise — in this week's upcoming debates in Detroit.
"There’s a reason Trump gleefully tweeted 'That’s the end of that race!' during the first debate: Too often, you succumbed to chasing plaudits on Twitter, which closed the door on swing voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio," Emanuel wrote in an op-ed published Monday on Medium.
"If you win the nomination in a way that forecloses a path to victory in the general election, we will lose, and your name will go down in infamy," he wrote.
Emanuel advised candidates to avoid falling into "traps that had many of us shaking our heads" during the first debates.

Unca Teddy was nuts but he wasn't THAT nuts! Oh, my.

Never thought the crisis would be the democrat primary though. LOLOLOL!!
Free stuff and We Hate Trump.
Those two are all they have.
If you take away the offer of free stuff, all you have is hatred.
They have nothing to run on.
Looks like Emmanuel has seen the internal polling on what swing voters are saying about the kook left.
Who reads Medium? Medium is the best Rahm's PR folks could come up with? Better to have an op ed in the Times or the Post.
Pardon me for not being impressed.
There’s a voice from the past. What does he want?

“ATTENTION WHORE POLITICS”
