She'd be fantastic (she *can* tone it down). But won't happen as long as the Schlapps are around. And, you know, Jared. She also probably likes her life. https://t.co/8JWo0qgEdX

HOPE THIS ISN'T TOO PARANOID, but Trump can't judge by who is on TV the most. Why? If you are an effective Trump surrogate you're probably LESS likely to get asked back by MSM than if you are entertaining and buffoonish. They don't want effective. https://t.co/0ZP8PNhYaM

Please, no. How about @Johnnydontlike? Extremely able and quick-footed Trump defender. Doesn't sound like he's spinning. Probably the most effective regular surrogate on cable panels during 2016 race. https://t.co/KRTtW5nnsJ

So it turns on whether it is a "hostile" foreign power. Is there a list of officially "hostile" powers?** China? … Nicaragua? … Mexico? … France?

I think you may have produced a theory that should be deeply troubling to GOPs: Economic growth itself (ie capitalism) produces Democrats (even if they are unhappy McMansioners & Millenial 'symbolic analysts'). So Texas turns blue even without demographic shifts–though slower. https://t.co/OPXOQtBzUi

The idea that there's a policy of "free market" growth at the state level that produces fewer Dem newcomers electorate is what I'm having trouble getting my head around. I can see where trade moderation might preserve more traditional jobs–but that's federal policy. https://t.co/FAsSh6lFDX

You can argue that Trump's campaign shouldn't take a meeting with a Kremlin connected lawyer to get oppo. (Don't think I agree.) The idea that he has to report it to the FBI, which he believes (with good reason) is controlled by his enemies, seems crazy as practical matter.

What were Virginia Republicans supposed to do — *discourage* businesses from creating jobs in their state because more newcomers meant more Democrats? https://t.co/IHatKGMlvz

They didn't have that incentive before? And suppose, say, France had legit info that Trump was on the take and leaked it via backchannels to a Dem candidate. Would there be any kind of stink? Or would Macron be hailed as a hero? https://t.co/UMEwpHK2hj

When someone from a foreign country comes to the @NYTimes with information, do they call the FBI or do they listen? I think they listen. https://t.co/pzZMMiHfry

Note that racism is part of the story that blames welfare for slowed progress. Without racial segregation would have been much harder for AFDC-enabled "culture of poverty" and isolation to develop. That's the argument, anyway. https://t.co/MglVXsyGKG

The argument that steady black progress was impeded by Great Society seems standard GOP point–AFDC expansion subsidized non-working fractured family culture. Why can't Owens subscribe to it too? https://t.co/kiqUHWmJr6
