      1. Of course there is something sickening about people like DeSantis opportunistically shifting on the pandemic. But in the short run it's good & necessary to have GOP voices with this message. There will be time for a reckoning later.https://twitter.com/thomasjuneau/status/1418008196812259331 …

      2. Again, there's been a real shift at top levels of GOP & most of Fox. Not any good reporting I've seen on what's behind it. Bad polling? Wall Street?https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1417986282194620419 …

      Ive said this to several Iowa reporters again this wk but I'll amplify it here: I encourage ALL eligible Iowans/Americans to get vaccinated The Delta variant scares me so I hope those that haven’t been vaccinated will reconsider

          3. There never should have been a cultural war on vaccines. But the good news is the pro-vaxxers are winning. Now to co-opt the converts & isolate the anti-vaxxers:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/is-the-right-splintering-on-anti?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          It looked like their strategy was going to work but the delta variant is so contagious they've changed plans. It's completely rational and a reaction to the spikes we are seeing in cases and hospitalizations.

          I suspect a cadre of donors got together on this, and coerced this. $$$ Talks. So look for the donors that really impact fund raising in general.....and who move the needle message wise.

          I’m so curious about how decision making around messaging works it’s way through networks of politicians and media personalities at this level. Like a switch was flipped - Who flipped it?

          It’s fascinating to think about it, isn’t it? Who coordinates the message, who decides on the timing, and who puts out the bat signal and how?

          Delta is 95% infectious and has a greater than 1% death rate. A 1% shift in the demographics toward the blue would be devastating to the conservative movement. That's what they're looking at.

          Maybe they figured out that if most of the deaths are amongst their audience, they lose power and influence.

          Don’t discredit the sway that pharmaceutical lobbyists have with republicans. If they smell a threat to their bottom lines, it’s time to get in formation.
