A fascinating exchange here... "That's because all we hear about is Trump, Trump, Trump every damn day!" https://t.co/28M1cP92r1 — PolitiTweet.org

And yes, they have diverging views on policing -- but that's the point. So do the parties! Scott/Booker/Harris have the most knowledge & credibility on the issue. Rather than another red v. blue rumble, let's task those 3 with getting in a room and forging a compromise. — PolitiTweet.org

In a healthy, non-tribal political environment, it would be cool to see Tim Scott and Cory Booker -- who are good buddies -- give their party leadership the middle finger, break away, write their own bill (with Kamala Harris, too) and dare McConnell and Schumer not to play ball. — PolitiTweet.org

If I'm an elected Democrat, this is about the scariest/most unsettling thing I could hear a constituent say: https://t.co/0wEmMTfFFF https://t.co/BDigzOY4Rw — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, some folks would argue — convincingly — that the diverging views of Biden within the Black community are not socioeconomic, as much as generational/ideological. https://t.co/0wEmMTfFFF 👇👇👇 https://t.co/4Fa1XR1Ewn — PolitiTweet.org

in South Carolina -- the turning point of the campaign, thanks to Biden's overwhelming victory among Black voters -- Black voteshare was 56%.... down from 61% four years earlier https://t.co/yCaihE288f — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

To everyone replying, "look at the primary results!" .... well, yes and no. Biden won huge majorities of the Black vote. But there was no widespread surge in turnout. Actually, in many states, Black voteshare declined from 2016. Dem turnout spikes owed to college+ women & indies https://t.co/XJRw3Kxr6N — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Here are affluent, highly engaged Black voters saying 1) No enthusiasm for Biden, 2) Nothing will change for AA community regardless who wins, 3) They’re resigned to Trump getting reelected. If that’s how they feel... how do common, working-class Black voters view this election? https://t.co/z4vXR4JWxQ — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a real disconnect between some white liberals who think they’re going to rout Trump and some Black Democrats who think Biden has no chance. https://t.co/0wEmMTfFFF https://t.co/EfClyc8Dl6 — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s nice that he worked with Obama. But let’s keep it real: That was a political calculation. Obama thought he needed a white man to get elected, just like Biden thinks he needs a Black woman to get elected. We can see through that.” - Tonya Griffith https://t.co/5yBirXVkFw — PolitiTweet.org

A few weeks into the #COVID__19 outbreak, Donald Trump's job approval was above water, 49/45, per Gallup. Three months later, the most recent number we have from Gallup is 39/57. That's a 22-point swing. Any other incumbent POTUS, we'd already be writing the obit. But...2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden paid Carol Moseley Braun an unexpected visit after her '92 election to the Senate. He was chair of the Judiciary Committee—and he wanted her on it. “You just want Anita Hill sitting on the other side of the table,” she replied. @michaelkruse: https://t.co/6jxdlSThOl — PolitiTweet.org

@TPCarney Speaking of conflating, do you believe foreign policy criticism is tantamount to character assassination? Because that’s the playbook here (and not just her’s). Disagreeing with interventionism and deligitimizing the interventionist are not the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Seriously I can’t wait to see the playcall from the Federalist types. Will they go with: A) Trump Derangment Syndrome B) Deep State! C) Bolton is a RINO D) America First means America First E) This was 3-D chess to win a trade war and btw do you remember Obama sending $ to Iran? — PolitiTweet.org
