I had a good time talking to David Catanese about what it would take to justify an immigration amnesty, and why @NancyMace will be Nikki Haley when she grows up (and why that’s not a good thing) https://t.co/8ojDQQHvXu

He has to cauterize this potential issue–not give Trump or Biden anything to grab onto and hype–and this seems a good start. He’s allowed to change his mind, or simply bow to reality. https://t.co/nDLlgGW7ur

Not quite right! For years CPAC was controlled by pro-immigration Beltway types like DC lobbyist Cardenas (before DC lobbyist Schlapp took over). They actively suppressed discussion of loose-borders, etc. If that’s your definition of “conservative” … https://t.co/I6loqfW84W

Why do I find this anecdote good evidence? 1) I know it happened–chain of custody secure! 2) Statement against interest from Dem who is opposite of a DeSantis type 3) Who you gonna believe, a bunch of self-protective experts (who generate “data”) or your own eyes?

Here’s some anecdotal evidence: A friend is normal liberal on West Side of LA. His teen kid goes to normal school. “Heart of Darkness” was assigned–except instead of reading Heart of Darkness they read some essays on why Heart of Darkness was racist. https://t.co/UGtX6vKgxA

Agree. Anecdotal evidence way more powerful than people let on. Also more up to date, I remember when the “data” said long-term welfare receipt wasn’t a problem. Anecdotes said it was. The anecdotes were right (data eventually caught up to them). https://t.co/Upa313ivOL

Annals of the Unconvincing: Would be a stronger “debunking” if it addressed whether elected president Yanukovych’s removal comported with the rule of law. My impression is the impeachment was a few votes short, which is why it’s a “Revolution [of Dignity]” and not an impeachment.… https://t.co/Hrr5dSFOSa

OK. But was Carter’s analysis right? Was the crisis because government was “twisted and pulled” by “special interests” (as I thought also at the time)?
