Hillary being accused of not caring about Flint, just exploiting it. Bet if you poll Flint, ppl don’t care, just appreciate her attention

@emptywheel I don’t see an easy way—maybe not any way—Repubs fully acknowledge the magnitude of this without damning their entire… -
@DanaHoule There's one thing to acknowledge, another thing to fund assistance. At national level no one being asked to acknowledge. -
@emptywheel Acknowledging won’t come unless they have to fund assistance. Nat’l Repubs won’t do anything unless all MI Repubs turn on Snyder -
@DanaHoule Besides, this is not (just) Snyder's governing ideology. It is DeVos'. That's going to take more to give up. -
@emptywheel It’s not just DeVos, it’s the GOP’s in general. This isn’t Mackinac Center in isolation, it’s ALEC -
@DanaHoule Sure. & I think there's a chance Hillary visit will make it less likely Flint gets $$ to fix pipes in part bc it'd be Keynesian - 4 more replies
