Kudos to Ronald Shafer for evoking the first TV conventions in 1948. Read it to learn why no campaign will ever again release 50 white doves. Many of these stories are also in A.J. Baime's excellent new book on the 1948 campaign, "Dewey Beats Truman." https://t.co/DBhwR0L0SU — PolitiTweet.org

@downgerd @newrepublic To be technical, WWII was the worst crisis. What we're dealing with now: the pandemic, the economic collapse and the breakdown of the rule of law under Trump are arguably the worst set of crises. — PolitiTweet.org
