I don't think this is anything new, in fact, it is old news...a conversation about this is just spinning our wheels. The campaign boils down to the nuts and bolts: ground game! organizing! micro-targeting! Almost everything else boils down to Ron changing his debate performances and speeches to be much more clear on what his platform would look like as President and to point out the deficiencies in his opponents. Something we have no control over.
The newest development is obviously the co-opting of his message to dilute it amongst the several candidates so that Ron doesn't stand out as much and which may and (seems to have) blunted his growth. And to combat this (again), Ron has to be more clear in his national appearances about what sets him apart from the rest and to be clear about his positions that he has held for decades and particularly that he lead on many of these issues. Something he is not a great job on yet.
