Seems like (given the 60 vote threshhold in the Senate) Trump needs to hold back something Democrats *want*. DHS funding not high on their list, right? https://t.co/RyDsNBIetb

"If anyone, including an illegal immigrant, steals your Social Security number, you have a right to be told." Don't see why that's not a simple political appeal that would get votes. And if Dems oppose … https://t.co/QbVcRYaNoU

RIght. The distinction is between benefits you have to work to get (Social Security, EITC) and those you don't (old-style AFDC welfare, food stamps in practice). Doesn't matter if Social Security is "paid for." You have to have worked to get it. https://t.co/XhBIMU3zYe

Maybe combine the pundit cruise ship hustle with the diet hustle? Take a voyage w/ Bill Kristol & Ben Shapiro–piercing political insights, while you're fed only beets! Nothing else to eat. Nowhere to run. You're in the middle of the ocean! Ha. You'll return with boundless energy

If we switch to cars that run on cleanly-generated electricity or hydrogen, why would we have to "switch to bicycles, public transport, or ride-sharing"? https://t.co/rQn4AkH4Ek

Finally, the obvious thing happens: a left-wing German political movement with "a skeptical position on migration." https://t.co/cHFRS4gco0 It's immediatley called "a PR initiative" with "little sign of significant support" from other parties. Sound familiar?

Harwood pushes idea of more immigration to cure "labor shortage" (even before wage increases materialize). Still, Stivers & Trump not exactly reading same playbook. (In clip Stivers seems like a good example of why uninspiring conventional business GOPs are sluicing toward doom ) https://t.co/m0Li4eoCKa

So in this case midterms are less referendum on Trump and more Trump trying to drag stale, unappealing establishment GOPS across the finish line …. https://t.co/sYG4Jx96uc

The guy who was about to jump got a 12-pack out of the deal. He's a better negotiator than @RealDonaldTrump! At least on immigration, Trump would have gotten 5 empty bottles and said it was a 12-pack. https://t.co/6kueYGiNMi

JUST DON'T BRING *THAT* UP: Trump and McConnell get along great–forging bonds!–as long as Trump doesn't push his immigration agenda (on which he's gotten pretty much totally stiffed by Congress). https://t.co/LiQj7ZUtDJ
