“Closing argument”? There’s lots of time between next Tues. and Election Day (cf Feiler https://t.co/XLFINE4VzX) She’ll give this “closing argument.” It won’t be enough. Then she’ll do another “closing argument.” Maybe another. https://t.co/VFEW6t0VK3

Yes, early voting would push the ideal date earlier. But as you say the more undecided/influenceable voters aren’t likely to vote early. The Feiler Faster principle would push the date later, since it means you can recover from scandal faster (and it’s harder to just stall). https://t.co/BXqSjoZwdg

And then (1924) Congress clamped down on immigration until 1965. The decades in which the modern, powerful prosperous middle class US was forged were low immigration decades.
PS Don’t think it was more than 20% in 1920. Think it was around what it is now. https://t.co/kaekt6WG4A https://t.co/WHMnjmCLar

If you had some scandalous story (eg Schwarzenneger groping, Bush DUI) on one of the candidates, what would be the ideal time to drop it? Can’t give them time to recover, but can’t do it so close to the election that they can fend it off until vote’s over. I say next Tues. You?

In other words, you’d have thought the immediate need to get reelected would have prompted the Biden WH to clamp down on the border quickly, whatever the long-term interests of the party. Something must have been pushing back in the other direction. NGOs a likely candidate.

When they write history of Biden’s disastrous border policies, the influence of these NGO’s *has* to be a big part of it. Yes, mass immigration was always in long-term interest of Dem party-but need to win in 2024 was in short term interest and short term usually beats long term. https://t.co/d1MZxXo8RN
