The think tanks should be a clearinghouse for campaign strategy, etc.

What McAuliffe said about education was correct, he just said it inartfully. Ignorant-ass MAGA parents have no more place making education policy than I do telling my doctor how to practice medicine. Real smooth think tank propaganda from our side--the type the right always has--is what's needed here, and needed fast, because some of the worst of the old right-wing think tanks (Heritage, Claremont) have turned into MAGA think tanks.
