@lxeagle17 Trump is absolutely a party elite, I just think this is an example of mixed motives — he’s not *trying* to promote electable candidates, he’s trying to promote people who are personally loyal to him which is negatively correlated with being an experienced competent politician. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting married makes people happier, divorce or spousal death makes them sad. But it looks like on net it’s better to have loved and lost. https://t.co/1crdJex9Us https://t.co/rQo8XEdZFR — PolitiTweet.org

Important counterexample was the Democrats in 2016 who backed themselves into a binary Clinton/Sanders choice when they could have had any number of non-socialists who didn’t vote for the Iraq War. https://t.co/TlHUkCig7G — PolitiTweet.org

To Hall’s point, the supply of state legislative candidates matters not just for state government but because state legislature is the entry rung for a lot of other political offices so it drives the whole system. — PolitiTweet.org

Politician labor supply is an underrated topic. Europe seems poorly served by a situation where Brussels jobs are considered lower-prestige than being in national government even though so many critical issues have migrated to the EU level. — PolitiTweet.org

I found Andrew Hall’s book arguing that the low objective job quality of being a state legislator is an important driver of polarization (only fanatics want to run and marginal members don’t really mind losing) to be persuasive. https://t.co/ieUSkQrtgB — PolitiTweet.org

Of course in contrast to Nordic empirical findings suggesting that politicians are smart and competent, Italian economists have a theoretical model saying politicians should be below average in competence & honesty. https://t.co/EpnorFSbBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Similar result from an earlier study of Swedish politicians which found they are smarter than the average person and this holds when controlling for parental socioeconomic status. Would be interesting to see this looked at for more countries. https://t.co/fnnmwbpLel — PolitiTweet.org
