OK, but if a Warren-style corporation, sensitive to local "stakeholders," delays moving a factory overseas–how is that result any different than what would happen (more transparently, without lawsuits) from a tariff? https://t.co/sy18vAoVKt

Newsom significantly less awful (ie immature, self-admiring) than when saw him interviewed in 2008. Has overweening faith in Coalition of the Ascendant, though. Lists opposing race preferences as big GOP mistake (along with Prop 187, 3-strikes crime law). Do Asian voters agree? https://t.co/6qA4wHb0Y6

Elizabeth Warren opts for Business Roundtable corporatism–big corporations given special legal status, obligations to "stakeholders," enforced by lawsuits! Seems like epic disaster in both theory and practice. https://t.co/lUOsqpIZ7W via @voxdotcom

I think welfare reform would've been a success if it resulted in AFDC-dependent poor Americans becoming working poor with no change in income, for a) social inclusion b) future mobility c) social egalitarian reasons. But obviously reduction in poverty a major goal as well. https://t.co/gyArYWKB8e

Makes good point: How do you come to US if you have no relatives already here? Chain migration makes that hard, no? (Preferences go to extended families.) Today's Wolf-Leib Glosser might be crowded out and excluded. https://t.co/p9VoyKaMjS

If it's the Coalition of the Ascendant you're talking about … well, I would think Latino voters would be very sensitive to rising crime due to Prop 47. https://t.co/OnwcH7iX55

GOP candidate for CA governor, @TheRealJohnHCox, is CRAZY if he doesn't make Prop 47 & crime a big issue in home stretch. One of ways people feel the state is going in wrong direction. Even if (as likely) Cox doesn't win, it saddles Dems with legit doubts. https://t.co/vf5t8rQCTb

California's Prop. 47 turned smash-&-grab thefts (of less than $950) into misdemeanors. Cops don't even bother to follow up, since jail time unlikely. Instead, they're RAMPING UP THE VICTIM-BLAMING.

If I were paranoid, and I am, I'd suspect this wasn't a Yoder play, but a Ryan play, or a Koch/Singer play–at least a loose-borders GOP lobbyist/donor play. Lowly Yoder the cat's paw!
Can't wait to see what the Ryanist Loose Border Lobby has planned for the lame duck session. https://t.co/iT03KYcm9B

Hmm. If a) GOP leadership didn't alert Sessions to backstabbing @KevinYoder amendments & b) all but one of the GOPs on committee voted for the plan even AFTER Sessions' phone pleas, doesn't that suggest this ain't about Yoder. He's pawn in leadership play. https://t.co/G02ReO12rr
