Not sure it does. Point is mainly that a standard 'law and order" response isn't always a political winner.. It was in earlier years–but CA Dem candidates who then ran on it in '92 found they got no traction. Also getting at "root causes" doesn't always mean standard liberalism. https://t.co/LLxBCXvkLW

People may be forgetting that the '92 riots seemed to help Clinton even though Bush sent in troops. Clinton wasn't just Law & Order-he seemed to want to get at a root cause (a "culture of poverty and dependence" on welfare) though not in a standard lib way https://t.co/SYNcz34Pkf

Beverly Hills just imposed an 8PM curfew — nobody allowed on the streets.
PS I walked down Rodeo Drive a couple of hours ago. Nothing left to loot. Merch all removed, etc.

Trump doesn't seem to be in control on the riots. He doesn't seem to be in control in the virus fight.** I sense a possible Dem theme! If Biden's team has any chops they'll be able to raise it without alienating liberals or interest groups.
**-or in control of himself [bonus]

But do average Democratic *voters* — as opposed to party leaders thinking strategically — see the quest for more immigration as a driving force behind their votes? I'm unclear on that. Seems important. https://t.co/xD52WX2VpQ

OVERLOOKED? This sentence, in a big NYT piece, seems possibly relevant now–in a good way:
"In the movies, viruses become more deadly. In reality, they usually become less so, because asymptomatic strains reach more hosts."

Coulter's a friend so I hesitate to say this: She's a good columnist. The ones that are just toss-offs are often the best–like this one, which is both fun & substantive. (Can't say she's in Trump's pocket.) Why wouldn't you want to read this in the @NYtimes in the morning?

Never understood why this is considered damning. It doesn't seem hypocritical. You can say 'This system is too easily abused' and still use the system until it's replaced. https://t.co/NJnTWAnwd5

Phone numbers for the "9 GOP Senators have urged President Trump not to protect American workers and asked him to oppose restricting work-based visas for foreigners." They thought nobody would notice except the lobbyists … https://t.co/11roGCJjHa
