Take the win, and use that momentum to drive mode change.

There's a difference between a start and means testing tho...

Those same moderates like to use means testing to erode away support for more, and to get the people who don't make the cut to vote against it.

It's how moderates have been opposing universal healthcare for over 80 years.

Social Security was supposed to be a temporary compromise to help the neediest while the government worked out the wrinkles for universal healthcare that was for everyone.
