@JeffSmithMO Though the whole idea seemed to be to nail Trump associates in state court, so a pardon couldn't be dangled for federal crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMKruse My guess is it has to do with her mother, Cindy McCain, being the Biden Administration nominee as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture. Even Newt Gingrich kept mostly quiet on politics, etc., when his wife ambassador to the Vatican under Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Late Donald Rumsfeld had an unlikely friendship with Al Lowenstein, a one-term Democratic House member from New York who previously put together the “dump Johnson” move ment in 1968. https://t.co/0FB8x2jJ7m — PolitiTweet.org

Between the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, Rumsfeld had a lucrative business career. As head of pharmaceutical giant G. D. Searle & Company, in 1980, Fortune named Rumsfeld one of the ten toughest bosses in America. https://t.co/NRnVeZnDAR — PolitiTweet.org

The late Donald Rumsfeld held a number of public roles: -- House member (R-Ill.) -- Nixon administration domestic policy official -- U.S. Ambassador to NATO -- WH chief of staff -- Defense secretary, twice — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

The late Donald Rumsfeld was best known as defense secretary (twice). But the Republican from Illinois was a House member, elected at age 30, from 1963 to 1969, when he joined the Nixon administration. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZacMcCrary @steveschale @chrishandjax That was my impression, as well. I had his cell phone # and would occasionally ask his reflections upon the passing of an elder statesman, like former Sens. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) or Charles Mathias (R-Md.). I was careful not to overplay this, but he always gracefully obliged. — PolitiTweet.org

@JMilesColeman Colorado and Virginia may set some sort of record for shortest tenures as swing states. Compared to Missouri for a century(!) through 2004. And even Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, to varying degrees, from 1992 on. Plenty of other examples, too. — PolitiTweet.org

.@cpsan's 2021 Presidential Historians Survey ranks James Buchanan as the nation's worst. Donald Trump, new to the list, is at #42, ahead of Franklin Pierce and Andrew Johnson. Who do you consider the worst president? And why? (Need not be among the four mentioned above.) — PolitiTweet.org

.@cpsan's 2021 Presidential Historians Survey ranks James Buchanan as the nation's worst chief executive, at #45. Donald Trump, new to the list, is at #42, ahead of Franklin Pierce and Andrew Johnson. Of these, who do you consider the worst? https://t.co/4t1WHq042P — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoying @cspan's 2021 Presidential Historians Survey, after similar polls in 2017, 2009. and 2000. This is the first to include former President Donald Trump, 42 out of 45. Ahead of Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, and James Buchanan. @HowardMortman https://t.co/4t1WHq042P — PolitiTweet.org
