  • @dwill9392 Thanks! (You two were clearly meant for each other.)
  • "Ready To Be Counted": Very interesting new working paper on non-cognitive skills. https://t.co/hPENsNaNxM
  • @pourmecoffee I don't think your early-December poll shows a 13-point Rudy lead, does it? He's tied w. Huck at 18. Trump has twice that now.
