Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Immigration Trap

I agree with Martin Longman that the suburbs are prime pickings for Democrats in 2020. They were critical to winning the House in 2018.  I also agree that moving too far left on health care and immigration are the only way that Democrats can lose in 2020.  That's why I'm moving closer and closer to Kamala Harris.  Her health care plan is precisely what you want to see from a nominee: choice, lots more public options, no easy sound bites about "taking away your private insurance."

Decriminalizing illegal immigration is just a terrible, terrible political move.  "Open borders" only polls well with the far left.  Even Hispanics don't like it, because if they are citizens, they likely worked their ass off to achieve that.

Biden is a big bowl of mushy, day old oatmeal, but that could be enough to beat Trump.  Harris could win PA, MI, WI, TX, AZ, NC and GA.
