I’m skeptical. MSM has sound anti-Trump reasons for boosting Trump in the nomination fight (i.e. so he’ll lose in the general). Those haven’t gone away. https://t.co/TXiqM6VrpC Plus Trump’s a better story. We’ll see if there really is a strong pro-DeSantis CW backlashlash. …

Has the old school conventional CW cycle returned (eg press hypes DeSantis, then looks for positive Trump news, then craves another change of story) after years of relentless uni-directional anti-Trumpism? .@MarkHalperin suggests yes: https://t.co/ASiTSN68zY

Is there a way for DeSantis to turn the MSM’s hostility to his own benefit. ‘Why is the liberal press trashing me? Because they’re scared of me. They know I can beat Biden And it’s funny–they’ve stopped trashing Trump. Because they know he won’t beat Biden …’

So the MSM is spinning everything against DeSantis (e.g. needling Trump about the porn star payoff, initially an amusing jibe, is now a “clumsy attack”).

This will get old very soon. Waiting for CW cycle to turn …

Does the college-degree middle class affirmatively *want* mass immigration (so they can benefit from cheap labor) or are they just not threatened by it. I still think the latter. On the other hand, here is the chair of the House “Progressive” Caucus: https://t.co/phqqsh5lBP https://t.co/jKMmByHRx0
