From @EJDionne piece on “Bidenomics” interventionism: “’If our economic policy doesn’t deliver a more inclusive, a more cohesive society, then we’re not doing it right.'” Amen. But how does Biden opening up the border make us more cohesive & inclusive? https://t.co/03kBRhtXtD

So it’s OK to attack someone for voting to raise the debt limit? This is a new position for Bidenworld, I believe. See, eg https://t.co/rdduxf0LvA (Biden: “Raising the debt limit is paying our old debts. It has nothing to do with new spending …”) https://t.co/hYXJCYxaDQ

“Instead of tacking right, Ms. Haley offered the closest thing to a general-election argument that any candidate delivered, highlighting herself as the only woman present.” Huh? Are “general election arguments” really that shallow? Does the media want them to be?… https://t.co/WyLSe6RNH0

Yes. Don’t see why this is make-or-break for RDS. “Mr. DeSantis is less in need of a breakout moment than of a stabilizing performance.” Iowans already know & like him. Ramaswamy & Scott-relative unknowns- have most upside. See https://t.co/1s1wX9eBlQ https://t.co/Pk9j60cDpy
