It’s hard not to notice that the greatest stretch of economic growth in US history, the postwar boom that made the American middle class and cemented a national identity, happened when immigration was sharply restricted (and ended when the restrictions ended). https://t.co/D5dmhgazib

It could help Newsom too (though I think maybe less). But Newsom isn’t DeSantis’s opponent at the moment.

In formerly normal politics, when your opponent is getting traction on an issue, you take steps to blunt it by at least partially addressing the underlying concern. (See Clinton, B., “Welfare as we know it”) Today’s Democrats are oblivious, and they will elect Trump. https://t.co/tO3rcGUz2v

WAR IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS AND JOBS! I’m for sending more aid to Ukraine, but Good Lord, nobody had the balls to make this crude argument during the Vietnam War–not even the Marxists. Well, Carl Oglesby, maybe.

“At each stage, stopping Trump would have required extraordinary action by certain people, whether politicians or voters or donors.”
Extraordinary? All they had to do was control immigration & rob Trump of his animating issue. They had other priorities https://t.co/p71OKfO7EV

.@Semafor: “Parole” is “one of the Biden administrations tools for managing the border.” Sounds benign! Parole is meant for a relative handful of humanitarian cases–eg foreigners who need operations. But Biden has used it to sluice in 718,000 migrants https://t.co/ihI3AYVnA1

One thing I didn’t realize: Many Democratic viewers, having read their social media and the incredibly anti-DeSantis MSM, were probably expecting him to be a dumb Troglodyte thug. He beat the hell out of those expectations (bodes well if he gets in a nationwide general election). https://t.co/ZpsK1uzFs3

One way to think of it: If you made an AI fake and took DeSantis’ words and had Newsom say them, and took Newsom’s words and had DeSantis say them, it would have been one of the greatest wipeouts (in favor of DeSantis’ words) in debate history.

DeSantis clearly wins the Web outtake contest, with the father-in-law clip and the SF feces bite. the toothpaste clip and the school closure issue. If you watched, though, it was closer.

That said, Newsom is clearly a slicker TV presence. DeSantis is the guy you’d rather have as governor, but his affect didn’t quite match that. Should be more calm authority (the facts were on his side) less non-stop combative.
