Trump winning among “regular Republicans” desmoinesregister.com/story/news/ele… Sorry, @baseballcrank redstate.com/2016/01/25/wil…

DMR:
Trump-“smash-mouth game show host”
Cruz-“ultraconservative obstructionist”
Rubio-“young-looking”
They’re subtle dmreg.co/1SQR3WH

Preserving for posterity …. Also: Expectations! twitter.com/BillKristol/st…

Selzer/@DMRegister poll really needs a LeBron-style reveal

Cheerleading Alert twitter.com/EliStokols/sta…

Does he say he’s against “blanket” amnesty like Rubio–meaning he’s for 99.999% amnesty? Very Clintonesque of Rubio. twitter.com/AJDelgado13/st…

Sowell piece just said voters shouldn’t vote emotions. Not a lotta policy there, or even Trump character critique twitter.com/jackfowler/sta…

I think this Coulter v. FOX thing is getting serious! twitter.com/AnnCoulter/sta…

Might be a red Herring! But worth pursuing. Has Sasse already sold out on immigration? twitter.com/AJDelgado13/st…

Chait notes “oddly thin” quality of NR Trump clusterbash-w/ says he’s not normal conservative (true) w/o then defending normal conservatism.

Does lazy charge of “racial demagoguery” prevent lib media (HuffPo/Buzzfeed/NY/TNR) from grokking full Trump appeal? nymag.com/daily/intellig…

“Trump’s main policy differentiator is immig. & here he differs from his opponents only in tone & emphasis.” ???? nymag.com/daily/intellig…

“The opposing factions are not divided over a policy question …” @jonathanchait lost me at sentence #3 nymag.com/daily/intellig…

GOP elite wants to Hispander 2 stay in power so they can do something voters don’t care about (cut taxes) #nocompute bv.ms/1PIZzXw

McArdle: Republicans can no longer win votes by promising to cut taxes bv.ms/1PIZzXw

#marcophants What about the old notion that you push back against the person you cover? Not the @politico Way! politico.com/story/2016/01/…

#BestoftheWeb on journalists and PC. @BuzzFeedBen hardest hit. Obvious answer: It’s marketing for Buzzfeed/HuffPo on.wsj.com/1UvB7qK

Fareed-GOP “never actually did anything” abt welfare state. Huh? 1996 reform ended AFDC entitlement. Cut rolls 50% wpo.st/ype71

Alternate theory: GOP elite pushed amnesty, ripped party apart. Not complex!//”GOP finger pointing over Trump” yahoo.com/politics/trump…

How about we put Marco expectations here … twitter.com/JenniferJJacob…

Rubio team setting IA expectations so low (12%) he can’t possibly not exceed them–i.e. aren’t the real expectations politico.com/story/2016/01/…

They’re always anti-amnesty the week B4 Election Day//”In last-minute ads, GOP establ. swings against immig. reform” wpo.st/76N71
