Why isn’t Haley Trump’s greatest asset? If DeSantis drops out, you think his votes are going to Haley (and not to Trump)? But if Haley drops out, her votes will go way more heavily to DeSantis, no? They’re anti-Trump votes. https://t.co/5nsn68Pulo

“Joe Biden remains terrified of his party’s left,.” True–but emphasizing the Left’s outrage re the border is what gives Biden what little leverage he has. (‘Sorry, Pramila won’t let me.’) It’s possible to stand up to the left. See Clinton, Welfare Reform https://t.co/mdlSkt0KMC
