Another caravan has been announced for January 15th? That must be a fake gimmick for the 2020 elections https://t.co/m2FtLPtPO1

"Weeks ago, his former boss sent word to his community via recruiters that construction jobs await him and others to build stores like Wal-Marts and Home Depots …" Don't say the caravans et al. aren't about US employers seeking labor … https://t.co/m2FtLPtPO1

NYT's 2-track strategy:
1) Trump making big deal of new asylum crisis!
2) Trump's forgotten about the caravan!
only makes sense if the caravan has nothing to do w/ asylum rules. But the caravan has everything to do w/ asylum rules. It's the same problemhttps://t.co/jITrtc3Ckc— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) November 14, 2018

Maybe caravan helped GOP in AZ. Maybe it hurt. But this NYT article doesn't offer much evidence of the latter. https://t.co/WC8JjBDYSt

This is the sort of desperate straw-grasping argument people like me resort to at 3 AM in a blog post with a question mark at the end. Don't expect to find it in the @NYtimes (and I don't have high expectations at this point). But gotta counter that immigration-worked narrative https://t.co/NK1hAbIL7L

For ex., @nytimes makes big deal of polls final-3-days-deciders trending more Dem than polls of final *week*deciders. But Trump was emphasizing caravan during both periods–indeed for at least final 16 days of campaign, per this NYT story from 10/20 https://t.co/t6xgzjNJio https://t.co/EnWgAAkS61

Also features tendentious analysis attempting to show caravan emphasis hurt GOPs. A lot of things could explain why late (last 3 days) deciders in AZ trended to Dems. https://t.co/e7E9snlc6F

This seems crazy. He didn't keep tweeting. He took action https://t.co/d3ecSwwiPT Which is a better indication that he's taking the problem seriously? https://t.co/ac9iIHCcpC

You have to wonder, how much of the US v EU tension — and anti-EU sentiment generally — results entirely from Merkel's disastrous 2015 migrant decision? (I don't know, but I'd bet a lot.) https://t.co/o8pTiHH3LT

No. The idea that Trump was an Existential Authoritarian Threat was always wacky–that was clear enough before he took office https://t.co/UYp9GKaSDE https://t.co/5bXEQGTB9M

2 big issues this election: 1) Health Care/Medicare/Social Security (for Dems) 2) Immigration control (for GOPs). How well would candidate do who combined them–pro-entitlements while controlling immigration? Spectacularly, no? Trump coulda been that guy https://t.co/u1u2LhljHi

Creepy Facebook speech interference https://t.co/CIAiKPVeXE Warned about sharing Daily Wire article because "additional reporting" had been done. But there was no additional reporting, just a Snopes guy reading and rating it.

** Mueller's conflicted because he interviewed for the post-Comey FBI job, so he's a potential witness in his own investigation — i.e. did Trump say anything about requiring "loyalty" re the investigation, etc. https://t.co/C86hJ5kGL2
