The calculus for Republicans is clear. The politics—external and internal—are much, *much* easier if they confirm during a lame duck. Purple state Rs infinitely more likely to go along after the election, regardless of the result. https://t.co/bHbVan5boX https://t.co/jSOnvX7tt5 — PolitiTweet.org

This is right — and Trump took it even further, explicitly telling audiences he would nominate “pro-life judges.” Evangelical leaders were stunned; they’d never heard a pol use that phrase in a public setting. — PolitiTweet.org

If I had one Con amendment: mandatory retirement age across federal office. Supply political stability (esp re SCOTUS vacancies) & preempt cognitive worries. We’re choosing between septuagenarians for POTUS. The speaker is 80. Ginsburg was 87. We have minimums. Why not maximums? — PolitiTweet.org

Not crazy. I’ve met tons of religious voters Trump could unwittingly lose. They wouldn’t vote Biden—a violation of conscience re: abortion—but they might stay home or vote 3rd party, no longer needing to compromise w/ SCOTUS locked down for a generation. https://t.co/bHbVan5boX — PolitiTweet.org

Once upon a time, I sat down with Mitch McConnell and reviewed these stats. I told him I believed that w/out a SCOTUS vacancy hanging in the balance in 2016, Hillary Clinton would be president. "I agree," he said. My story on why Trump might hold off: https://t.co/bHbVan5boX https://t.co/wkF5OstIrP — PolitiTweet.org

"I had no idea how important Supreme Court judges were to a voter," Trump once told me, looking back on 2016. Now he knows. Mr. Transactional has a decision to make—deliver the goods and hope he's rewarded, or delay the pick and exploit his leverage. https://t.co/bHbVan5boX — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, none of this changes the fact that Trump has coddled and kowtowed to Putin in ways that are grotesque. The public deserves a full accounting from both candidates on their real views of Russia and China. — PolitiTweet.org

History didn't start in 2016. Hacking the election wasn't the beginning of Russia's attack on US interests; it was the culmination of a long game that many Dems downplayed. Madeline Albright: “I personally owe an apology to now Senator Romney..." https://t.co/5JO4EfiIf6 — PolitiTweet.org

It really is amazing. I'd say 9 out of 10 black folks are game to tell you exactly what they think and share who they're voting for. Same with working-class white folks. But rich white folks? Maybe 3 out of 10, if you're lucky. (Chappelle once had a bit about this... but NSFW) — PolitiTweet.org

Mark is right. The "line" I highlighted was the attack—portraying Trump as a spoiled rich bully—not Biden's bio. His embellishments on academic record etc. are well-established, and I should have noted that context. — PolitiTweet.org

final thought here -- my gut, having done a lot of reporting in both PA and WI, is that PA is an easier flip for Biden... but my head remembers PA turnout was actually quite strong in 16, whereas WI turnout tumbled (never forget: Romney won more votes there than Trump did) — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
(the "if" here, re: Biden flipping and especially re: Trump holding, is operative. this is just one scenario -- but it's one that folks are thinking about.) — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
@jimgeraghty not assuming anything! said *if* he holds everywhere else -- which, if Biden's flipped those other 3, seems unlikely anyway — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
A reality that's getting harder to escape: The 2 states Trump World knows have slipped, and may be unrecoverable, are AZ & MI. WI isn't far behind. If Biden flips all 3, and Trump holds everywhere else, it's 269 apiece. Omaha could soon be the center of the political universe. — PolitiTweet.org

@redsteeze By whom? (Btw I don't think it'll work in 2020, either, because he's far too defined now. The time to make this stick was five years ago.) — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
@redsteeze Touché. But would argue there's a difference (politically) between the rich jerk you strangely admire and the rich jerk you'd like to punch in the face. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
The CW is, "That's why he won! People feel like they know him! He talks just like they do!" But that's the point—good campaigns turn the opponent's strengths into weaknesses. Nobody has ever prosecuted the case that Trump, beneath the Queens bluster, actually despises his base. — PolitiTweet.org
