But the RINO pols–eg GOPs in moderate suburban districts–will be the ones who get wiped out, no? Some revenge. https://t.co/Ay8o6x39cG

Remember the rules: If GOPs win, it's because of the economy. If GOPs lose, it's immigration.

"We can talk about the economy, but the fact is, we know how well we're doing with the economy and we have to solve problems." David Gergen or Trump? (Answer: Trump, making the responsible Kennedy-School point, for which he's being lambasted by the CW) https://t.co/enrrOXQdOZ

38% of HISPANIC voters in battleground districts think Democrats would be "not tough enough" on immigration, per CBS/YouGov. (54% of all battleground voters think that.) https://t.co/pLeLy37F46

PROGRESS: Last week @PhilipRucker said the caravan consisted "mostly of families." https://t.co/h82jC6Delz Today he merely says it "includes many women and children." https://t.co/3BkYP0zf4Q This isn't even a "stealth correction" since he never corrected the first story at all.

Axios' Mike Allen pisses on Trump 's caravan talk ("All they really needed was …Kavanaugh"). I take that to mean it has been working. https://t.co/hEwSLfowXm

Good compendium of sensible quotes from major Democrats (Obama, Bill, Hillary, Feinstein) from before the party's candidates went crazy on immigration. https://t.co/6ssMUD9gqA

They won't be as low-paid if we regulate the market-flooding influx of migrant workers. It's that regulation the caravan ("People Without Borders") is explicitly challenging. Which is why it's a totally legitimate issue. Do we want control of our borders or not? https://t.co/tEzD3gYpQJ

Brat helped save the country from a misguided mass amnesty bill (championed by @LindseyGrahamSC!). He even more clearly saved the country from Eric Cantor. I hope he wins on Tuesday. https://t.co/OCUuFXni3A

TEAM LIND: @DLind vs. @JamesFallows action on whether the caravan is a major or minor story. Point is it could easily become a huge influx if it succeeds in gaining entry through asylum weak spot. Would press not be allowed to cover early surge of migrants into Greece in 2015? https://t.co/5Hxy79ypuH

Old CW: Democrats might win the House! Trump comeuppance nigh
New CW: "Democrats should be walking away with the midterms. " Why aren't they? https://t.co/mFfF5tSzmi
Since the obvious answer is "the power of the immigration issue," I like this new CW.— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) November 3, 2018

NPR segment promises to show how Trump's immigration remarks "were riddled with false and misleading statements," Does not deliver a single one. (Hard to believe there wasn't *one*.) https://t.co/ybmhgXgW09

Conversely if Republicans do badly, will Trump figure the immigration issue isn't working for him anymore and suddenlty decide there's a pressing labor shortage that needs filling (something his business friends are presumably whinging about already)? https://t.co/pklUjru5g8

Another consequence: Maybe the Dems will realize they have to be more sensible on immigration control https://t.co/RkCRt1sTFg Worth it for that alone. (Not like a Pelosi House would be able to enact much legislation.) https://t.co/pklUjru5g8
