For once, I’m actually eating lunch while I write this post: the kind of Tex-Mex food that’s abundant in Georgia but not in California. I miss it now and then.
Here are some midday savories; plate may be hot!
* New CNN/ORC poll provides more evidence of rightward shift on immigration policy due to refugee crisis.
* WaPo’s Aaron Blake suggests Sen. John Walsh conducting a seminar on how not to respond to a scandal.
* RCP’s Tom Bevan attacks Scott Walker’s “cynical trek into populism” in ads hammering Democratic opponent Mary Burke’s family company for outsourcing.
