Good point that Trump’s poll drop on the immigration issue coincided with his ridiculous plan to staple green cards to diplomas from ANY US college (including junior colleges). https://t.co/YzdJyt4RjS Serves him right for sucking up to @theallinpod bros https://t.co/aMRQOeWZ8L

I assume people have noticed that the latest @CNN polls have GOP Senate candidates closing the gap with their Dem opponents (and with Trump) in PA and (yes) AZ. In PA, the poll has McCormick tied at 46 with Sen. Casey. Is the Incumbent Rule still good law? https://t.co/Y4yqdkkt08

Harris had a work requirement in her cash-sending 2019 LIFT plan? Who knew! But because she is a cipher/vessel who blows with prevailing winds, it’s almost certain she’d push no-work checks if elected president. https://t.co/dewbPwLqlw

.@jmart thesis requires:
a) Harris wins “soundly”/”decisively”/”big”
b) GOPs take Senate and hold House (to produce gridlock)
c) Trump doesn’t run again in 2028(a) unlikely but possible
(b) iffy, especially if (a) happens.
(c) yeah, right. https://t.co/p6DIiHB99d— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)
