@spacethug_ @SamAdlerBell I don't like "untold" as a marketing gimmick unless it's literal - like, hey, we sat down with Thomas Pynchon and he told us something new. New to you does not = new. But Kelly did cite the material in the book, so I wince at people saying this is ripped off. — PolitiTweet.org

@EdMorrissey A news habit I'd recommend to anyone is occasionally asking "what happened to that story that I heard a lot about, then nothing about?" Sometimes it got resolved, sometimes not, sometimes it turns out to have been mostly hype. — PolitiTweet.org

@BenjySarlin The donor class doesn't understand the base, it just needs it to win. Also Manchin will turn 77 before the next presidential election. — PolitiTweet.org

@SamAdlerBell I checked my review copy and yep, it’s cited in text and notes. Is some of the frustration here that the book is marketed as an “untold” story? https://t.co/dkogfmKGqB — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of good reporters cover this, but I can't stress enough how much easier it is to find some judge who you think you can get to declare X unconstitutional than it is to get 218 House votes and 60 Senate votes to create X. — PolitiTweet.org

There's a lot of discourse about what a party's message is, so you get this Scott/McConnell duality where one guy has Ideas and one guy doesn't. But McConnell does have an idea: Win the presidency/Senate and confirm judges. It's more effective than any 10-point action plan. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Age plus the experience of his son wreck his life with drug addiction. I'm not defending that - Hunter being a junkie isn't a reason to keep busting people for a drug that's less harmful than booze. But it's definitely the tool he's scared to take out of the toolbox. — PolitiTweet.org

When somebody makes an “all time” list that ignores stuff before 1980, I think about Richard Thompson doing a “best songs of the millennium” compilation and including “Summer is Icumen In” and “When I Am Laid in Earth.” Take the challenge seriously. — PolitiTweet.org
