Haley expectations getting out of hand:

“Haley closing in on NH win?”–Drudge

On CNN somebody just speculated she’ll come “surprisingly close” to Trump in Iowa.

If she finished 3d in Iowa and loses NH, will the press

Hate VP analysis, especially Overist ‘we’ve-given-up’ VP analysis. But @ellisitems actually engages in some intriguing speculation on the subject–about RFK Jr. and why he might be the running mate of … well, you know. https://t.co/GkhhhUvvV1

Let alone for a white working class (the new GOP) that feels it’s being thrown onto the scrapheap of history by respectable Republican campaigns and that sees Social Security as one of the few government programs that give structure and hope.

What this tells me is Haley is running a standard 80s-90s respectable campaign, where you’re rewarded for things like confronting the entitlements issue, not a campaigh for an electorate that really doesn’t like where the country is going … https://t.co/UdMyEd5Lkv

Yes, SDS and the Port Huron statement preceded Vietnam. We would have had unrest in any case –but those were issues (alienation, civil rights, poverty) that needed confronting. We didn’t need complete mistrust of government.

Well, GOPs might want to drop it if it cements in far greater parole authority than they now think the law allows–e.g. if it says the President can parole half-a-million a year. (Less than the unlimited authority Biden seems to claim, but more than GOPs say is now legal.) https://t.co/CWmgto7Mfg

.@DDayen suggests a GOP shutdown strategy might be a political winner for GOPs because even though they’ll lose it keeps the border crisis “on the front pages.” Don’t the millions of illegals streaming across the border keep it on the front pages? https://t.co/dGeOVKBMpl

If the ‘Democracy’ campaign theme works, would we expect it to show up in polls soon? Or is it an in-the-privacy-of-the-voting-booth kind of thing?

If it’s the former, is Biden trying it out now, to see if it’s a winner? And if it isn’t, plenty of time to …. what? https://t.co/de4viSCwmA
