wagner. ron desantis described it as a crisis at war. donald trump called it an invasion. with less than two weeks left until the iowa caucuses, today, trump and desantis published dueling op-eds in the des moines register. both cast immigration as the most pressing problem facing our country. both candidates promised that they, and they alone, can t fix it. now, what both trump and desantis are advancing in these offices, neither actually fixes to our country s border issues, nor are they actually immigration policies. but they are the sort of plans you can tell people that you have, and they are articulating them to the public. they want to let fewer brown people in. they want immigration to be the most painful process possible. they want to set new records in deportations. again, none of that really addresses any of the root causes of migration, for the actual problems with our immigration system, which are real. but it is a plan, and it s a plan around which repub ....
Are disproportionately women, disproportionately over 20 and single women, are an important turnout target for democrats. i think as an issue, and as an issue that you can message around, minimum wage fits in with things like earned sick days, with things like equal pay for women who earn 77 cents on the dollar for what a man earns for doing the same job. they combine to tell a broader story of economic fairness. when democrats are successful at telling that story, they win elections. one of the things that people who study the minimum wage as a democratic turnout effort always point to is a bunch of elections in 2006. 2006 was a good year for democrats, but in a couple of states like i m thinking missouri and in montana, there were senate races in those states, jon tester s senate race, claire mccaskill s senate race, where it was thought that they didn t really necessarily have a shot. and there were minimum wage issues on the ballot alongside ....
Specifically on one specific ballot issue or on a specific piece of legislation? right. there s no question that people who make the minimum wage who are disproportionately women, disproportionately over 20 and single women are an important turnout target for democrats. i think as an issue, and as an issue that you can message around, minimum wage fits in with things like earned sick days, with things like equal pay for women who earn 77 cents on the dollar for what a man earns for doing the same job. they combine to tell a broader story of economic fairness. when democrats are successful at telling that story, they win elections. one of the things that people who study the minimum wage as a democratic turnout effort always point to is a bunch of elections in 2006. 2006 was a good year for democrats, but in a couple of states like i m thinking missouri and in montana, there were senate races in those states, jon tester s senate ....
Than one point between the national polls. they re demographically sort of, you know, one state s a little more african-american. one state s a little more hispanic. they basically in class and all that stuff, they basically mirror where the national number usually is. where are the national numbers? it s a one-point race. of course, florida and virginia will be a one or two-point race. it s a game of turnout in most places. joe, look at romney s florida schedule today. it s about turnout. it s about the base. it s about cranking up these numbers. and that s what it s down to now, right? does romney hit and i think that that s where you feel like when you go through this intangible, does romney hit 105% of his targets? and does obama hit 90% to 95% of his turnout target? if that happens, then romney may eke this out. but does obama hit 95% to 100% of his turnout target and romney s only at 100% to 105%? well, the obama folks believe they win in that scenario. ....
