@tbalcerski Hard to see a whole movie about Buchanan. Perhaps in an opening scene of a Lincoln film, with Buchanan shown dithering during the secession crisis of 1860-61. — PolitiTweet.org

Twenty years ago today, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA) was elected minority whip by House Democrats. Secret ballot win capped a three-year fight against Rep. Steny Hoyer (MD). Led to current leadership structure with Pelosi as speaker and Hoyer majority leader. https://t.co/b944giAdUv — PolitiTweet.org

The funniest part of this excellent story is how many usually loquacious House members are unavailable for comment. Both likely beneficiaries and losers in redistricting ahead of the 2022 elections. https://t.co/h6UPXXI7ll — PolitiTweet.org

A long history to this. In 1979, CA Lt. Gov. Mike Curb (R) appointed a judge with Gov. Jerry Brown (D) out of state — which was quickly rescinded. In 1991 MO Gov. John Ashcroft (R) sued to clarify duties of Lt. Gov. Mel Carnahan (D) when out of state. https://t.co/g1vdOfJxRq — PolitiTweet.org

@MatthewWallack Wow. Really helpful data — the kind of thing I sort of thought anecdotally, but great to actually have the numbers crunched on, for empirical proof. And casts doubt on the notion of "good old days" in the competitiveness of House elections, whatever the current problems exist. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@MatthewWallack The big pickups by House Democrats that year padding their majority pretty much put the speaker's gavel out of reach to Republicans over the next 36 years. Even very strong elections like 1966 and 1980 only chipped away at the Dem majority but weren't enough to topple until 1994. — PolitiTweet.org

@JacobRubashkin His special election win in spring 1994 portended the Republican wave that fall and the first GOP House majority in 40 years. The district has previously been represented by a Democrat, who resigned mid-term. — PolitiTweet.org

@jennifernvictor @bindersab Is there any reason to think Manchin and/or Sinema would go along with this? — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@beyond_process @brianros1 It's a good question, which I've been thinking about a lot in recent days as maps emerged. California might be doable, with the state's overwhelming Dem lean. Colorado and Michigan are more recent, so voters would likely be reluctant. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 The tricky thing would be getting voters to approve ballot measures to change them, in California, Colorado, Michigan, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Ghosts of 2018 seem to be having an effect on congressional map-drawers in states where Republicans control the process. In Indiana, Texas, and now the first Georgia draft map, it's more about incumbent protection than going on offense. — PolitiTweet.org

@jacobfhsmith Combined with the status quo-ish Indiana map, a decent redistricting start for House Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org
