This is crazy. Your own substack has explained why the tinkering changes in the deal won’t come close to solving the border chaos. “Expedited Removal Won’t Fix Asylum” https://t.co/YXx0T14q02 https://t.co/R8zU4iHkMp

Outcome is likely to be that he’s ripped apart his caucus and not gotten the Ukraine aid. Did Schumer sell him on this strategy? https://t.co/mfFnZmVFjL

I doubt the Dem spin strategy (“You turned down a border deal in January!”) will be very effective. In November, are voters are going to remember a failed secret January deal on obscure immigration issues covered in Substacks–or 3-4 years of Biden opening the floodgates? https://t.co/NbkODSl96T

It’s McConnell who seems to have completely screwed it up. Settled on a double-bank-shot strategy of getting Ukraine aid (hard enough) while getting actual border solutions from Dems (impossible, apparently). Now he’s admitting defeat while spinning it in way that undermines GOP. https://t.co/a3l5TWoEpQ

Romney buys the Dem spin and gives the MSM what it wants. … (The deal, which is still secret, would not “solve the problem,” or come close, if the leaked provisions are any indication.

Not like @JakeSherman to naively swallow 100% of Dem spin. But here we are: “[T]he GOP prefers to use the border crisis as a political talking point instead of solving the underlying problem.”

It depends if the Dems are willing to offer provisions that would solve or substantially solve the problem, no? They aren’t. So it’s a question of having a deal the pretends to solve the problem but doesn’t or having the issue. https://t.co/AdiO7MNENg

Just because Trump wants to kill it doesn’t mean it’s not a terrible bill, as far as the border provisions (that have leaked so far) go. He’d have to fix it if he’s president because there sure isn’t anything in the deal that will fix it before then. https://t.co/AaIKlTpaxk https://t.co/hgew9i3eYe
