Harwood pushes idea of more immigration to cure "labor shortage" (even before wage increases materialize). Still, Stivers & Trump not exactly reading same playbook. (In clip Stivers seems like a good example of why uninspiring conventional business GOPs are sluicing toward doom ) https://t.co/m0Li4eoCKa

So in this case midterms are less referendum on Trump and more Trump trying to drag stale, unappealing establishment GOPS across the finish line …. https://t.co/sYG4Jx96uc

The guy who was about to jump got a 12-pack out of the deal. He's a better negotiator than @RealDonaldTrump! At least on immigration, Trump would have gotten 5 empty bottles and said it was a 12-pack. https://t.co/6kueYGiNMi

JUST DON'T BRING *THAT* UP: Trump and McConnell get along great–forging bonds!–as long as Trump doesn't push his immigration agenda (on which he's gotten pretty much totally stiffed by Congress). https://t.co/LiQj7ZUtDJ

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
