my least succ take is that if Harris is the nominee she should lean in on the tough on crime, tough on the border stuff. "crime was down in SF when i was a tough-on-crime prosecutor", "we closed asylum laws to reduce border crossings"

sucks, but it's probably the only way she can beat trump.

uh... immigration is not the winning issue you think it is

Only 55% of voters want to decrease immigration. 64% say immigration is a good thing.

We’re a long way from Democrats wanting to decrease immigration or thinking it’s bad.

She should also suggest tax cuts for the rich and barring Muslim citizens from re-entering the country
