Did Pelosi just say "Let's hear it for preexisting medical conditions"?

Curbelo, Coffman — Republicans who were weak on immigration control (maybe because of their districts) are going down. https://t.co/uD1aycHSZi

I think @SteveSchmidtSES of all people just admitted that the immigration issue worked for GOPs (where it was tried). (Says this will be GOP takeaway, doesn't say why it's wrong…)

Nicole Wallace seems very annoyed. I guess that means Trump's immigration emphasis worked.

Alter may be right about the Bradley Effect, but is there a rule that you aren't allowed to tell MSM pollsters what you think they want to hear? That's a byproduct of PC/virtue-signaling culture, no? Seems more embarrassing for pollsters than voters. https://t.co/iY5krjfAjf

Prominent immigration sellout @KevinYoder goes down. A nation mourns. But he can still do a lot of damage in the lame duck.

Tuned in to hear @chucktodd say that President Trump defied advice and "touched the stove on immigration and it didn't burn him." So that's a good sign ….

Was just on this. Ed Martin seems a genuine populist, not just a Republican who's tough on immigration (though he's that). Receptive to a @DouthatNYT-like alternative that would steal the Dems' best ideas. If @RealDonaldTrump were smart he'd give him a prominent job. https://t.co/Oot8kqixbq

Even if they don't qualify for asylum,,"it is the act of coming over, applying for it and waiting for the legal process to play out that has become such an alluring way for impoverished migrants to live and work in the [US], if only for a few years." https://t.co/G64ZRQe1ED

So if VoteCast is accurate (eg people who say they're sure to vote all actually vote) you already know the results of the election, right? Who won? https://t.co/qMgpNPOkYY

Classic nonsensical "norm": Trump can appear at his rallies, why can't his top aides? None of them is technically on the ballot. All have right to free speech. We're supposed to think they are neutral in the election? Part of doomed attempt to separate governance from politics. https://t.co/9Xm2eRB3yG

Democrats' failure to deal with caravan is a synecdoche for their failure to deal with reality on immigration (ie that open door=hundreds of millions) and maybe in other areas (eg paying for income guarantees), Totally legit campaign issue.

Hmm. What happened to @Politico's" Democrats see late surge in Senate battlegrounds"? Seems to have disappeared, replaced by "Trump scrambles to save Senate." I am beginning to lose faith in @Politico. https://t.co/cQqIxxbbrn
