I like to imagine the Slim Jim marketing people have been locked in a room for 24 hours with the boss screaming YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS ROOM UNTIL WE HAVE A PLAN FOR WHAT TO DO WITH THIS and people are crying

“Don’t let anybody know where you are!” Never before seen video: Nancy expresses concern to Mike Pence about his safety, all while Trump was stoking violence against Pence. https://t.co/fagjtkxxoX

The Left YIMBY/Left NIMBY civil war is a great way to distinguish between left folks focused on solutions that help people vs left folks focused on obscure aesthetic/culture fights with people they despise.

The reason this is interesting is not because Grassley is going to lose (probably not) and not even because the Selzer poll has been accurate (though it has been) but because she's a pollster who will publish what her numbers tell her and not herd toward the conventional wisdom.
