Not as dire as it should sound.
Maybe pivitol point. Turning point. Critical point..

(57,073 posts)But for swing voters maybe not good. I am not criticizing Joe at all, just thinking of ways to broaden his appeal.
I love listening to 😍bama because he is so well read, well educated & eloquent.

It comes off as sounding elitist, and that's not a very good image for Joe to be projecting.
