However you feel about "Redskins" (let's be real, most of you probably shouldn't feel strongly one way or the other) everyone should read this comprehensive background on the name, the logo, and the controversy. I learned a lot. https://t.co/uW8NWPzcCn — PolitiTweet.org

@kkondik true, but it was down quite a bit pre-Covid, in the 5-point range on average, which aligned with Trump's approval flirting with 50. numbers across the board have changed dramatically since. — PolitiTweet.org

2020 is not 1968. It's not 1980. It's sure as hell not 2016. 2020 is 2020, an election year unfolding against a backdrop of three society-combusting crises the likes of which no incumbent president has ever had to navigate. Stop with the comparisons. There is no comparison. — PolitiTweet.org

@redsteeze hence "if Trump is any other incumbent POTUS..." — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This isn't predictive. Much can and will change between now and November. But between the horse race numbers and the right/wrong track data I posted earlier (https://t.co/kuycUZ43aS) we should be clear about where this race stands 4 months out. Biden is a heavy, heavy favorite. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Folks. In the six key battlegrounds - MI, WI, PA, FL, NC, AZ -Trump has trailed Biden in every single nonpartisan poll, in every single state, conducted over the past month. There is no precedent, at least in modern times, for the comeback POTUS must mount in the next 4 months. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

When you see Monmouth today showing 18 right track / 75 wrong track, your first thought is "gotta be an outlier." Then you see the average is 24/68 and your second thought is "ummm could Biden win 400 electoral votes?" — PolitiTweet.org

Oh? Boebert is a right-wing extremist, you say? Please. Look at Tipton's record. She'll vote the exact same way. Only difference is she'll rock the boat and force a debate. Good. Have it. Let voters see the politicians and parties for what they really are, then vote accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

When one of them does lose - even to a fringe character - we should consider it a win for an institution that's defined by laziness and intellectual lethargy. Members should be on their toes, hustling their asses off, earning every vote in every election. Tipton wasn't. Bye bye. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

There are *so* many members who coast on autopilot, cycle in and cycle out, believing if they toe the party line and do the bare minimum, they'll keep their jobs. Usually - because of the power of incumbency, and because most primary challenges lack $ and enthusiasm - they do. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

#CO03 isn't about Lauren Boebert. It's about Scott Tipton. Guy has been in DC a decade; I've never once heard him mentioned as a player, or as a voice of persuasion, or even as someone with a signature issue. He's just...there. Treating a House seat like a lifetime appointment. — PolitiTweet.org

really though I have questions. is this “coin shortage” because nobody has paid for anything with coins since the 90s? has the price of metal spiked leading to deceased production? did someone buy a lawnmower with penny rolls at this Lowe’s location and the manager lashed out? — PolitiTweet.org

Something tells me the “shut up and dribble” crowd won’t like the Atlanta Hawks turning their arena into America’s largest voting precinct. If this turns into a trend — if Ford Field becomes a polling place in Detroit — hoo boy Dems just hit a jackpot. https://t.co/ioCYx82vmI — PolitiTweet.org
