Shor: "Non-college-educated whites, on average, have very conservative views on immigration. … But they have center-left views on economics; they support universal health care and minimum-wage "
OK! So how to appeal to them? 1/2https://t.co/2pLfCxN7sP

Weird that this ad would tick off @realDonaldTrump (https://t.co/7mpCGFWC8T) unless maybe he really is planning to sell out US white collar workers (on advice from Jasputin) https://t.co/ZQn8xl9WoW

Aha. So it's a real thing, not Trump mis-speaking … https://t.co/qjPf4rikOK

Ford's revived Bronco looks to be a big hit–mostly (so far) due to it's classy styling. https://t.co/hlhZNkLRJo If only the same could be said for the cheesy Mustang, which (don't forget) could have looked like this: pic.twitter.com/3dns0LihoE

This chart makes it look as if basically the entire problem is now in the South. True? https://t.co/TldGocDTJd

"[T]he economy is getting better, vaccines and therapeutics will soon be on the way, and Americans want safe streets and communities."

This is alarmingly close to an actual calm, comprehensible campaign message. https://t.co/Wa44vgfsGc

By "awful" I mean weak candidates. When you look up "loser" in the dictionary there's a picture of McSally. Wish it weren't true. https://t.co/CDYTk58NJc

The Incumbent Rule makes this polling even worse for @RealDonaldTrump than you might think. Do incumbents *ever* win when their pre-voting number is 40 (even if there is a large undecided bloc)? https://t.co/MlXB1Sit7b

Then Trump can found his TRUMP CHANNEL FOX competitor https://t.co/VhFmmiTxH5 be on the air every day, and plot a Grover-Cleveland-style comeback in 2024! https://t.co/SutI6ZOd8v

Maybe @RyanGirdusky can show where this is wrong, but right now seems best if Trump retires on top, a TR-style one-election impact President!, maybe anointing successor, rather than after a humiliating, disastrous repudiation in Nov. https://t.co/JPKCqZGkQr https://t.co/CDYTk58NJc

Trump's main contribution will be to either drag or not drag GOP down into Senate minority (meaning no filibuster). Right now he's cleary a drag. Plus GOP candidates are awful: McSally, Tillis, Loeffler, now Tuberville. And zero confidence in Trump campaign leaders. Grim! 2/2 https://t.co/chs4BtzXXO

Trump now seems almost irrelevant on Issue #1 (immigration). If Dems take Senate, either Pres. Biden will sign huge amnesty/more immig. bill or newly Schlappy Pres. Trump will sell out base & sign it. Everything hinges on Senate control, not WH race, no? 1/2

'Lo-skill immigration bad; Hi-skill immigration good!' Is that Trump's new position? https://t.co/BlMSyqQkNc 1) How does that help DACAns-not a very hi-skilled group? https://t.co/kBGHX4uftv 2) Protecting DACA will attract more parents bringing in LO-skilled migrants illegally

Unfortunately, next election (2024) is TOO LATE, if the Dems win the Senate, for reasons outlined here https://t.co/JPKCqZGkQr https://t.co/QUsALz4Wg7

More you think about it the more absurd @JamesFallows' position is. If there was an industry-wide failure to anticipate Trump, that makes the need to break out of the cocoon MORE important, not less. It's not an excuse for not trying. (And of course not everyone got it wrong) https://t.co/u7b2WtIQDw
