I don't think Trump has published anything as bad as Romney's op-ed. Do you think it's good? https://t.co/qZuR5SbvHG

4) Olestra-like flow of cliches. 5) Entirely within self-applauding MSM/Never Trump echo chamber with one exception–includes Jeff Sessions on list of "encouraging" early Trump appointees.

,Awful on many levels: 1) Unserious-Is he for getting out of Syria or not? 2) Whole lotta vague virtue signaling ("I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest..") 3) All about positioning Mitt >>> https://t.co/EPJV1vwN8T

Casual empricism (ie party conversations) suggests that — thanks mainly to bad news coverage — many well-informed people think the shutdown fight is over whether to spend $5B for a wall or $1.3B. It's over whether to spend ANY money for new walls or $0.

Legal argument for just mandating E-Verify through executive action–after 60 days notice–turns out to be not crazy. You can't do it with a "telephone" system, but hey, E-verify is an Internet system! Worth finding out if that argument flies … https://t.co/KuFy9A9Inp

True. But of course the issue is not the funding level but whether Trump is allowed to spend a single dollar of whatever funding on new sections of wall. Dems say no. https://t.co/Jj9UNUPcIZ

I'm for the "wall" (symbolism included). Think it's needed, will work. But there's always been a danger that many conservatives are *so* invested in the wall that they'll give up too much to get it — eg a big amnesty. Trump may be one of them. PS: What about E-Verify? https://t.co/jauBAQlYxH
