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.

I distinctly remember reading somewhere about Sinema boasting behind closed doors about how easy it was to buy off Brandon Judd (with pay raises for members, etc.) But last time I looked I couldn’t find it. Maybe it didn’t happen. Anybody else remember it? https://t.co/cEuvsqB9vv

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.

This does seem to be the implicit argument he’s making. Immediately after mentioning her death he says “I understand, but look, if we exchange the dynamic on the border” so fewer people will come because they will get faster hearings (a bogus point because for one, under the bill… https://t.co/STvTfYHOfc https://t.co/RSrS8h53d0

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

When Nancy Pelosi contemptuously tore up that Trump speech, she really had no choice–it had been a good speech, and she needed to change the story line into her ripping it up.
