Abby Phillip: Republicans Can’t Say Economic Issues ‘Can’t Be That Important’ to Americans

EXCERPT:

PHILLIP: "Jason, respectfully, I think this conversation is actually kind of missing the point. And maybe this is why Republicans are in kind of a bad way, is that you can‘t tell Americans, 'Don‘t worry about that economic issue. That shouldn‘t be as important to you. Let me just tell you about this other thing over here.' And as important as crime is, their priorities are their priorities, and you can‘t gaslight them into thinking that they should care about things that are not as high on their list as the economy."
