The U.S. sets higher standards for those who want to join the country than to lead it. If Trump were an immigrant, here are 21 awkward questions he’d have to answer truthfully to get a green card or become a U.S. citizen. (Warning: very long thread.) 1/

Republicans want "freedom" to poison the air and water and manipulate financial markets, while forcing women to carry babies they don't want

@gelliottmorris The problem with modern polling is it’s weighted to reflect the pollster’s guesstimate of the makeup of the electorate. The problem with Selzer is it’s unweighted. Pick your poison!

Trump promised mass deportations in ‘16

He failed. His deportation rate was well below Obama & Bush.

What he cut was legal immigration.

Today he’s making the same deportation promises while claiming he supports legal immigration

the craziest thing about this election is the con job Trump has pulled off, w/help from journalists, in claiming Biden-Harris economic policies have "failed"

best economy in the world

inflation down, employment up

no recession

it's a story of success https://t.co/ta00BA30ay

If Trump wins and the economy continues on its current trajectory, suddenly everyone will start saying its the best economy ever #FoxNewsLies

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

Despite widespread dissatisfaction w/the economy under Biden, urban centers & inner suburbs are the places where she can find the highest concentrations of voters likely to reject Trump anyway, b/c they view him as a threat to their rights, their values, and the rule of law.

We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker. https://t.co/WVlUCzPaOF via @politico

And when they do get the news, they see the Fox News-edited, manipulated, sanitized version which omits his off-the-wall insanity and repackages it into soundbites which almost appear as though they could be spoken by a normal, rational human being.

It’s the Great Sort! Rs are leaving CA and NY for “safe states” like Florida and Montana (cf. Tester-Sheehy), while college-educated D’s are moving toward urban areas with professional jobs including Texas.

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

NYT/Siena also conducted polls in Florida & Texas

While Harris predictably trails in both (and their Florida poll is a clear outlier), it points to a narrower Electoral College bias for Trump

Florida
🔴 Trump: 55% (+13 rounded)
🔵 Harris: 41%

Texas
🔴 Trump: 50%
🔵 Harris: 44%
