The plausible and the possible
"Rhetoric and reality, the plausible and the possible, are becoming difficult to separate." (The Guardian.)
What's the difference in meaning between two nouns the plausible and the possible in the sentence above?
--------------------
As I understand that, "the plausible" means 'thing(s) which can be rationally explained' and "the possible" 'thing(s) which can be done or achieved', but I'm not sure about that.
