Passage Summary: A strategist argues that attacking a politician's core beliefs works better than attacking their specific plans because it tells a better story.

Conclusion: Philosophical attacks on political opponents are usually more successful than critiques of specific policy details.

Reasoning: By connecting policies to a broader ideology, philosophical attacks create a narrative context that makes the message emotionally resonant.

Analysis: The strategist makes a jump from 'this method is emotionally compelling' to 'this method is more effective.' To make this argument work, we must assume that emotional engagement is a key driver of a political attack's success. Look for an answer that bridges the gap between the psychological impact of a story and the actual effectiveness of the campaign tactic.
