What really happened at the Pete Buttigieg "wine cave" fundraiser. Strong reporting and insight from @BillSwindell. "Napa wine caves take center stage in the Democratic presidential debate". https://t.co/bpwIcBz1z3 — PolitiTweet.org

@mattklewis For Biden that's as good as a win. No major screw-ups, etc. Keeps marching on as a leading candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

"Wine cave" debate meme is based on @teddyschleifer reporting. Referred to Dem candidates variously as "Silicon Valley wine cave" for rich attendees, and "Napa Valley wine cave for the actual location. https://t.co/xOZZMGtpcK — PolitiTweet.org

This prescient Dec. 4 @henryolsenEPPC column insightfully explains subsequent Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) D-to-R party switch. "Progressives are going after a Democrat for voting against impeachment. Moderates should be nervous." https://t.co/5xsIYH9nKF — PolitiTweet.org

Say this for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) — his political instincts have been strong up until now. DCCC tried to recruit him for several cycles, but he wisely waited until GOP Rep. Frank LoBiondo retired. Whether that political judgment holds for 2020 is an open question. — PolitiTweet.org

With Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) as a Republican, House GOP would have to pick up 19 seats to win majority, give or take. Two-seat Democratic pickup in North Carolina map a political insurance policy for Democrats that's paying off sooner than expected. — PolitiTweet.org

A swath of Southern Democrats switched to Republican after GOP won majorities in both chambers of Congress in 1994, and were mostly fine electorally. Since then most party-switchers have gone on to lose their seats in a primary or general election, immediately or years later. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) party switch from D to R would be second this year, after Justin Amash (Mich.), from R to Independent on July 4. Previously had been a decade since a party switch, Rep. Parker Griffith, D to R, on 12/22/2009. Each case involved leaving House majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Assuming the House votes on Trump impeachment articles before Christmas, outgoing Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) keeps threshold for passage at 217. Even though he can't cast House vote after federal guilty plea. With him gone, and with other vacancies, majority # would be 216. — PolitiTweet.org
