BTW, Hari was among the Democrats who raised alarms in 9/2020 that Trump's edge on handling of the economy could lead to him overperforming the polls. It drew eyerolls and mockery from segments of liberal twitter at the time but proved accurate. https://t.co/I9ifDoDWt6 — PolitiTweet.org

One important nuance is that the Republican donor-driven agenda of supply-side tax cuts and safety net cuts is unpopular (see: the 2012 election). It may read less "crazy" to some voters than Trump-style culture wars do, but it's hardly a formula for electoral success. — PolitiTweet.org

I watched a lot of ‘08 @BarackObama speeches on immigration and he always put a premium on border security and law enforcement above all. The rest came second. Folks can debate what the right approach is morally or politically but there’s no question party’s emphasis has shifted. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing the House BBB vote showed: progressives’ worst fears that the @RepJoshG-led moderate gang was scheming to sink the bill proved wrong. Not only did they vote for it, he helped sell them on it by arguing that CBO was undercounting IRS savings. https://t.co/6ftN0WPOMv — PolitiTweet.org
