"Democrats won this one. As recently as 20 years ago, they insisted that the sex lives of politicians were irrelevant…At last Republicans have come to agree." So John Edwards is back in business? Can't believe Ferguson (eventually) buys into this BS https://t.co/7HYOOAbv9l

Voters are going to remember a 2018 lame duck shutdown of PART of the government two years from now, in 2020, and hold it against Joni Ernst? Seems a bit of a stretch. I think she just doesn't want a wall. https://t.co/ZJM2ft0iMt

See, for example, Honda. The apparently sell US-made Civics abroad. GM can't sell the Lordstown Cruze here https://t.co/U35qAtQEEB It sure looks like @SteveRattner did not solve GM's problem. https://t.co/MxeKZFs16m

HAMMER TIME: If Trump can't get a hold of Dick Morris to tell him how he can stand up to Congress, maybe he could talk to Tom DeLay. DeLay seems to have the right idea: “If the president wants the wall, he’s got to win this fight in the next few weeks…" https://t.co/Ff4yv8El86

Any car company that would advertise the outdated Cruze as it's comeback champion wasn't a serious competitor and knew it would lose. https://t.co/IToL2tw9GG (A Cruze once got me through a harrowing ice-slick mountain trip, so I'm grateful. But it's a B- car.)

"Japanese, German and Korean (non-UAW) auto makers with plants in the American Midwest and South" are making vehicles here and exporting hundreds of thousands of them abroad. GM can't even make them here and sell them here. https://t.co/65tjZHdswt

If Wall critics were so convinced a "technological" barrier is as good as an actualy physical barrier, they'd fund both kinds and see which kind worked better. They won't (because the wall would work better–virtual barriers have consistently failed). https://t.co/Ef6xMikVnA

It was a good ,calm discussion-I thought. Bob didn't jump down my throat. Plus at some point my video goes into the highly embarrassing "demo mode" in which my face is squashed like a melon. Haven't found it yet. https://t.co/Td07gzxvu1

Maybe the Cornyn proposal is just an expectations-lowering trial ballon, but @realDonaldTrump really needs to grow a spine he hasn't shown–and fast. Maybe he should talk to @DickMorrisTweet about how a president (Clinton, in Morris' case) can negotiate with Congress as an equal. https://t.co/Ef6xMikVnA

A straight Wall-for-DACA deal'd be bad enough (an amnesty is just too big a thing to trade for that). But now Cornyn is talking DACA amnesty in exchange for NOT even a wall, but merely "enhanced technology, manpower and physical barriers where necessary."https://t.co/BdnisbwgLn

How about actually putting policies –E-Verify, Wall, etc.–in place (including passing court challenge) before your amnesty happens? That might actually inspire confidence. But it would be the opposite of your Gangof8 approach, which gave mass amnesty up front. https://t.co/uU5rVG9Msa

Also Volt, Cruze and (in US) Cadillac CT6 and Buick LaCrosse. Imagine if @SteveRattner had forced the UAW to make significant concessions. GM would be in much better shape, no? https://t.co/A79b6rEwVe
