@LLHitz They certainly didn't back in 2011 when by a narrow margin more voters thought that raising the debt ceiling would mean more government spending. And the Trump years have not exactly been kind to voter education. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2011, during the last serious debt-ceiling crisis, slightly more voters believed that raising the ceiling would increase federal spending rather than avoiding default. But a good chunk of voters cared about budget deficits in 2011. They don't now. https://t.co/dz4UfMVQYk — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway show me any politician whose reelection bid was spoiled by voting to raise the debt ceiling, I’ll wait

Covering debates, I have long wondered the same thing. The only logic I see for this logorrhea of fact-checks is that it gives campaign aides something to do beyond worrying that their candidate is screwing up. So much in politics is hyper-ness with no practical place to put it. — PolitiTweet.org
