There was something Biden’s SOTU last night reminded me of, and I’ve figured out what it was: It was like being barked at by a TSA agent at an airport security checkpoint. “Laptops out!”
Maybe it was a more pleasant experience for you.

As this was posted the “parole” lawsuit was being dismissed on standing-to-sue issue at the District Court level, but that can be appealed, ultimately to SCOTUS https://t.co/bcCpUIwypH

“Illegal” was the most effective thing Biden did last night, I thought. Campaigning as a ‘guy who cuts through the BS’ a good groove for him. https://t.co/YmQ66e26Rf

I dunno. The interaction at previous SOTU about Social Security was educational & a coup for Biden. Don’t see where “Oh you don’t like that bill, huh?”-spoken with a weird stage smile-was either informative or effective theater. Imagine a British PM saying that in question time. https://t.co/ABYYMWN6Dz

Please. For starters it ratifies quick “catch & release.” Release is now written into law, not just a controversial extemporized practice. Also ratifies Biden’s massive “parole” in a way that short-circuits the lawsuit that may well declare it illegal. Status quo way better. https://t.co/Dj9PrrugAX

Except he actually said “illegals.” [You make the call: https://t.co/pag54wfrk2] Maybe he misspoke. He did, however, seem to be conceding that fewer migrants means fewer murdered Americans. (His response was in effect “Pass my bill and fewer will come.”) https://t.co/eCNVLC5Apn

If John McLaughlin came back to life and asked me “Was tonight’s State of the Union speech enough to move the needle for Biden?” the answer would be “No.” Not really even close.

So it looks like Biden’s campaign will be more of a Harry Truman (as advised by James Rowe) throw everything at the wall, mobilize all the interest groups approach. Worked for Truman. Meachamism/abortion/guns/blue collar jobs. The immigration “flip” is a short-term gimmick, tho.

And Biden’s anger sounded like anger that he’s behind when he thinks he should be ahead. Not sure that works. Trailing candidates don’t usually display that attitude, probably for a reason. https://t.co/m50NcHdldr
