One reason I think GOPs should (now that the point has been made) restrain themselves from heaping too much abuse on the Vineyarders. Respect the NIMBY. https://t.co/DCO39Zj6Ce

This seems like key question: Biden “MAGA Republican” attacks juiced Dem voters, but did they also motivate hard-to-poll Republican voters? (And the Dem voters were arguably already motivated by Dobbs.) https://t.co/NFh5fjo6h8

Huh? Seems obvious that if Dems are trying to federalize the issue by saying GOPs will propose a national ban on abortions, optimal GOP response before midterms isn’t to propose a (partial) national ban on abortions. https://t.co/L8boZ9xD3D

Hmm. Immigration is a very salient topic (below abortion, above crime (!)) on which voters highly disapprove of Biden’s handling, 60 to 32. [Poll here: https://t.co/RoGlLAAqKw] Seems like it might be a good GOP issue! But what do we know. https://t.co/VyZeRKQ64d
