ParticipantI can’t help but see him getting carved up during the nomination process. he is sharp & clever, but this is just such low-hanging fruit for his opponents . . . or should I say rotten fruit LOL

ParticipantI think 2 issues. first and maybe foremost is the tactics being used now versus in prior years. perhaps designed to make a public statement and encourage self-deportation, yet comes with the obvious downsides and debate. Second is that I believe more are being stopped from entering in the first place, so “target pool” of persons here illegally is lower and dropping.

ParticipantMohan was my very first Marketing prof! I walked into the class assuming it was going to be some warm & fuzzy stuff, and left after 110 minutes realizing that this dude with a EE degree was going to drive quantification behind everything.

ParticipantTo me, all economic imbalances eventually get corrected. The deeper the imbalance, the more turbulent the correction in general. THus, the debt absolutely terrifies me as I struggle to see anything less severe than a Greece-type correction.

Participantcount me as extremely disappointed that more of our elected representatives are willing to put their assets into frozen or blind instruments while in office, and furthermore unwilling to codify this legally.

ParticipantNew York, in my estimation, has made so much progress since the early 70’s when they were in deep trouble. only question to me now is how damaging this will be before wiser people get elected . . . or am I too optimistic and NY will go into a long-term downward socialist spiral?

ParticipantSo help me with the logic for why he would sign that bill . . . he is not dumb, yet this seems stupid to the point of dangerous. WHat thread of logic is he latching onto?

ParticipantCynically, I find this to be expected. The political toolkit “smear your opponent” is open to all, and subject to use by both parties as circumstances make convenient.

Participantor is Indiana GOP seeing this as a no-win effort over the long term?

ParticipantMy office is in Illinois, and I can personally attest to the large number of people trying to get out. Moreover, when we hire and relocate people, almost all of them choose to live in Indiana. REasons are obvious to those who follow IL news, and I can go into them if anyone is unfamiliar.

ParticipantI really think we need to pass whatever legislation is needed to re-draw districts only after the 10 year census. I’d like guidance on some kind of non-partisan team to do this and/or some “geometric” limitations. probably a long-shot, and may require a constitutional amendment. I suspect a plurality of AMericans are or will soon be really sick of this.

Participantyes cringeworthy
BUt also potentially REALLY STUPID! We shall if it matters or not, but I think this or something similar sure could bite him.

ParticipantI will be curious what form this actually takes. He obviously backed off on Chicago, and I don’t believe has yet sent any “troops” to Memphis.
