Washington would be a better place if more officials were actually punished for failure, career-wise–which would lead more to ask if a particular course is mistaken and dissent publicly or quit if they feel they’ll be blamed. More Chester Bowleses, fewer partisan networkers. https://t.co/7Fd4cDRypW

I mean, is there no epic failure so damaging (to her party, among other things) that it would prevent Tanden from immediately re-assuming the helm of a prestigious think tank? Did Donald Rumsfeld get to run the Heritage Foundation after his Iraq debacle? https://t.co/tRw53LFNnL

Post-failure op-eds are cheap. Maybe if they a) confessed the errors in detail and apologized and b) disclosed to the voters what was really going on (something we still don’t know about Biden immigration policy). https://t.co/3krrZKC064

Also, they didn’t “move to slowly to secure the border,” which is all Tanden cops to. They opened up the border from Day One. https://t.co/DKpWz6vWP2 https://t.co/giI5U6jnAj

Barro’s piece much stronger confronting that Dems need to recognize that “being in the country without authorization is reason enough to deport someone” if the rules are going to mean anything. Tanden evades the issue. Anyway, what the hell did she do when she was in power? https://t.co/2VUStLCCok

A further (final?) mental block for Dems to bust: They can’t do the enforcement and the things they actually want (amnesty? legal immigration increases?) AT THE SAME TIME. Nobody trusts them not to undermine the enforcement as soon as they get their goodies. They need to enforce https://t.co/voBiCJex0l
