There are 3 caucuses in this one auditorium. Were they going to have 3 speakers at once ? Answer: Yes. Insane. People talking over each other.

The deal “essentially authorizes the Biden administration to continue to catch and release people …It authorizes them to give them work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody that they’re able to funnel to a port of… https://t.co/hi8D7njQre

NYT: “For a campaign-trail reporter, those Q. and A. sessions are where you really see who the candidates are, how they think on their feet and whether they can connect with voters.” Haley’s not up for that.

I mean, what is he thinking? The deal’s awful–offers little to solve border problem + cover for Biden. But beyond that, McConnell’s strategy was doomed. He really thought the House would buy this shit sandwich? And he was willing to bet Ukraine aid on it? Has he lost it? https://t.co/V6resOt5PE

“McConnell told GOP senators during a closed-door meeting that they need to ‘take the deal’ that Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) is negotiating with Democrats.” https://t.co/MnPRj48dSJ

McConnell really should step down. https://t.co/HnM4jfdIs7

A lot of insight into Haley’s view on immigration from her most opportunistic, posturing @npr-ready big speech, praising immigrants with no mention of limits. https://t.co/6DrWDqgbNw

I mean, I’d read a lot into the difference between them if I were a Haleyite, but they are all pretty close to each other, no? Margin of error and all that. https://t.co/yrGmWdP5Nc

Which may be why she doesn’t do much better against Biden in the RCP average than DeSantis does, despite her constant claims that she’s “up to 17 points” ahead of Biden. (She’s essentially tied with Biden, as is De Santis.)

Ordinarily you might think Haley’s Dem support means she has potential general election appeal. But this is a tactical anti-Trump vote in a state with basically no real Dem primary. In a general election you’d have to think a large portion of these voters will go back to Biden.

On @MarkHalperin’s new “2-Way” Zoom, participants wonder how Haley could have such low Iowa enthusiasm & favorable #s even though she’s “hot” and “rising.” One answer is that her voters are Dems! But why are we sure she’s rising? Maybe she peaked 2 weeks ago, between Selzer polls

Even *this* sounds better than the crap Lankford/McConnell Senate deal (though it will probably be worse). Hard to see how Biden could usher in migrants any faster … https://t.co/BM0QEs1PUF

I assume Johnson gets points with @chiproytx et al if he hangs tough on the (crap) border deal. He can spend those points on budget deal. Likewise if Roy et al make a fuss about the budget they almost force Johnson to stay tough on border. Betraying them on both would be risky. https://t.co/b8o56hAoiU
