Stunning Stats Dept.: How many of the 1498 just admitted to Princeton are white male US citizens (or legal residents)? The number seems to be around 200 or less. https://t.co/XWGtrr6l3x How many of those are not 'legacy' admissions or atheletic recruits? Probably <100 (if any!)

Proposed solution: Ignore Manchin. Focus attacks on issues (e.g. amnesty, union payoff, revival of welfare, ballot harvesting).
