Meaning, can he yield the power to shift the party in any significant way here or is that just not his aim? >> well, i actually dont think there is a distinction there. i think words matter in this sense. i think there is two really notable things about this op-e derop-ed. i think he is directly rebutting the argument you hear most often from republicans on capitol hill. hes saying outloud what a lot of people say privately or are thinking. rachel is right about that. but what you hear from repu...
