“Tick Tock Goes the Clock”–By Kobo Town
https://t.co/l29mpHvakt
Has absolutely nothing to do with the current fight over a social media site. But it’s a helluva song. Covers a *lot* of ground.

One example: Trump waffles when it comes to instituting the E-Verify system to weed out illegal hires. DeSantis actually passed it in his state. https://t.co/vkUnDZ7heQ

“Republican voters liked what DeSantis had done–but immigration and the economy were more top of mind. And there they gave Trump the edge.”
They’re crazy. DeSantis is way more reliable on restricting immigration–and much more knowledgeable–than Trump. https://t.co/FuHtXpMlQK

Whether you buy this argument or not, the creepiness of post-election ballot-curing campaigns is yet another aspect of the still-unfolding corrosive effect of mail-in voting.

Pretty much anybody can get themselves to the polls, no matter how much money on one side or the other. But not anybody has the cash to wage a selective campaign to change the score after the game is played. Seems like this should be done even-handedly by election officials.

There’s something a bit creepy about coming in with big money and correcting only Democratic ballots, no? It’s one thing to pay to get your voters to the polls. It seems like another to pay to have only your side’s votes counted. https://t.co/JWSmDhUZCQ

Isn’t everyone ignoring how Trump could most easily serve (in effect) a third term–by running a figurehead candidate who would let him keep running the government? Seems legal. And it has worked before elsewhere: The Lurleen Medvedev strategy. https://t.co/77858wjZZo

CA Gov. Newsom’s signature mental health bond measure is only ahead by 20,000 votes–with 25 days of counting left. https://t.co/G6R6QCiW92 That’s less than a .1% difference. So why have opponents conceded? https://t.co/ES76QpFIpY

Most troubling aspect: Biden thinks his record is a lot more FDR-like than it actually is (“policy achievements that eluded past presidents”). Maybe if his industrial policy (eg CHIPS) pans out. Past presidents have done infrastructure. https://t.co/Zskc5OMZlt

Obamacare–there was an achievement that had eluded past presidents. It was a BFD–and still not as big a BFD as Medicare (LBJ) or welfare reform (Clinton). Nothing Biden’s done is such a BFD. Problem is not “communications strategies” about his fabulous success. https://t.co/igzNBrwpKh
