Legal Commentary

"Dayo [Olopade] explains why Obamacare will fail in 8 seconds flat. The RNC should hire her for their next commercial."

Listen a few times and let it sink in. Here's the whole context, which begins with Olopade saying that it might have been better to argue for health care reform on a moral rather than an economic ground.

If you take the time to watch all this, you'll see that every time I pressure her about the nature of the moral argument, she shifts over to an economic argument. I point out the shift when it happens 3 times and say that I think the way she keeps going back to economics may well explain why the Democrats chose not to give prominence to the moral argument. In particular, as Conn Carroll's clip shows, the moral argument ? when you get right down to it and strip away the verbiage ? is hard left ideology.
