3/3 Meanwhile, hand-wringing over low # of Rs among college professors and scientists. Must be biased hiring -- what else could it be? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

4. So their continued Trump support, or even silence, is understandable in terms of self-interest. Understandable, but also despicable. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

3. It's not hard to see why they won't: turning on a nominee, no matter how horrible, would do huge damage to their careers — PolitiTweet.org

So, do we people realize that HRC's speech didn't involve any pandering at all? It was who she is: /1 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember, Obama is an America-hating affirmative-action hire -- or so the right has always insisted. Did you see that guy last night? — PolitiTweet.org

This is what's happening in the news right now -- so many incredible outrages they get in each others' way https://t.co/SigPgSyH1A — PolitiTweet.org

DNC speechwriters must be in a panic as they revise to include choice bits from this AM's press conference — PolitiTweet.org

One moral of Vlad/Donald: GOP doesn't actually care about national security, and never did. It was always just white nationalism. — PolitiTweet.org
