If so many people are undecided (like Jon, and me) maybe it's a GOOD thing if a big field of candidates remains unwinnowed for a few more primaries. NH voters don't seem to be electrified by anyone. https://t.co/HDINZknfLR

Larger problem: Kristof says Trump hasn't "tried seriously to address" the "economic malaise for working class" that underlies despair deaths. But Trump's immigration/trade/tax/macro policies all TRY to address this & in fact economy at bottom's improving https://t.co/VQW6L6esMp

TRANSLATION: Help! It's working! Trump has actually found a way to stop the surge of (mostly economic) refugees, at least temporarily. Doesn't he realize that mass migration is inevitable? //"Trump Got His Wish. Mexico Is Now the Wall." https://t.co/tKhV9aF2Cl

You would think a @NickKristof column on "forgotten" low income Americans under Trump that cites "deaths of despair" would MENTION that drug deaths declined in 2018 for the first time in decades (if only to discount it). You would be wrong. https://t.co/VQW6L6esMp

SCHMOOZALISM: From crack deep dive investigation at bar in Manchester filled with MSM types and Dem politicos: Everybody thinks Klobuchar won the debate and may have time for a surge over next 3 days. Would be faster than Hart '84 — but Feiler Principle says yes!

CODE RED! @EJDionne on @NPR: "this week, which could have been a net plus, was actually a net minus for Trump."

He did say that (about the effect of throwing 'everybody out of the country'). Didn't call for a *new* stream of workers. He denounced the Gang of 8 bill (which included guestworker plans) as "massive effort to attract cheap labor." But then he voted for it! So seems unclear. https://t.co/NazMD7h3Al

Sanders' answer doesn't seem *that* bad-OK, he's for "comprehensive" amnesty. But his real position is MUCH WORSE. Big new "program to welcome migrants displaced by climate change," moratorium on deportations, free health care for illegals and no E-verify https://t.co/KGqOgflTXp https://t.co/IvTtbttOwD

News Items by @41jellis has a long NH analysis. Subscribers only, but here's part: "Biden has to decide, today, what he’s going to do [NH or SC] The likeliest decision is a kind-of-sort-of-both decision, which is the worst option. Biden will likely finish fourth in New Hampshire"

Official signs at airport giving tips to travellers to and from Wuhan (eg 'don't go near animal markets').
Why are any travelers to or from Wuhan showing up at US airports?

After Iowa: "Only Pete Buttigieg had a story to tell. It was a good story and probably will force Biden to abandon ship in New Hampshire …" Hmm. How does he abandon New Hampshire at this point? Leave the state? Tell supporters to vote for someone else? https://t.co/1VfYRV0UT9

Doesn't Bloomberg have to, you know, win some primaries? *One* primary? Who are these people who are going to hand him the nomination because he's the only one with $$ to mount a "counterattack of overwhelming force"? https://t.co/ifmobekPSW
