FWIW, I spoke with dozens of people at the “Trump tailgate” outside Ford the other day, got some good-natured ribbing for being a reporter but everyone was perfectly friendly and polite. These ugly glimpses of mob mentality aren’t representative. — PolitiTweet.org

Not long ago, a message like this, sent by a presidential campaign, would produce an earthquake. Now we barely bat an eye. https://t.co/LgaLxSjgxp — PolitiTweet.org

As @SenatorTimScott leads the GOP charge against Biden's "you ain't black" comment, take a few minutes to learn about him and his tortured relationship w/ racial politics. As complex a character as you'll find in Washington today. https://t.co/YfJDvvEMbj — PolitiTweet.org

No confirmation yet, but IF true, wowwwww 2020 just got even more interesting in Michigan — PolitiTweet.org

Pairs well w/ 2 stories this week @MarcACaputo on FL authorities debunking theories of mass voter fraud in 2018 https://t.co/NNXa8mkppd Oakland Press update on Sherika Hawkins, the Southfield City clerk who altered ballots and is headed for prison https://t.co/75j5Oup9FC — PolitiTweet.org

@brianbeutler A political tactic, sure, but not a pressing issue for voters. I've covered hundreds and hundreds of GOP events, talked to thousands of people. Voter fraud rarely came up. Yesterday, almost *every person* I spoke with raised it. That urgency is new and very sudden. — PolitiTweet.org

You know there’s a helluva lot happening when a POTUS visit gets 3 inches below the fold https://t.co/EVC80nnJfV — PolitiTweet.org

This was teed up for POTUS. Ford plant! Near Willow Run! So much symbolism. Surely a highlight moment in his handling of #COVID19—a rah-rah speech to unify the nation. Instead he distracts w/ voter fraud, UAW insult & “bloodline” comment. A single that should’ve been a home run. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

the takeaway -- voter fraud talk is suddenly ubiquitous on the right, and it happened so fast we haven't begun to really consider the implications https://t.co/zbkjMfXHwd https://t.co/bIQP1nx6mH — PolitiTweet.org

Here's my dispatch from outside the Ford plant today -- a reporting experience that further dims my outlook for the next 5 months, which I truly did not think was possible https://t.co/zbkjMfXHwd — PolitiTweet.org

there's probably a Lions joke to be made here, but those should be directed at Martha anyway, not Junior — PolitiTweet.org

saw this on Facebook, taken by a Ford employee, here's @realDonaldTrump rocking a mask w/ Bill Ford Jr. https://t.co/ZY5OnzI9Qi — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

@TMannWSJ yup. there are a handful of places/districts where it really plays, but tons of voters (and thus, their reps) take it for granted. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

The ongoing “infrastructure week!” joke obscures 1) just how outdated and dangerous so much of this country’s infrastructure really is, and 2) just how crazy it is that no administration R or D has made it a truly populist, legacy-shaping priority — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

I’ll have a lot more from President Trump’s visit to Ypsilanti. For now, here’s one MAGA supporter hoisting a Betsy Ross flag on a fishing pole with a naked doll (“Governor Half-Whit!”) hanging from a tiny noose. https://t.co/QG9ATL4ygF — PolitiTweet.org

Joe had another great day today. Hartland community rallying around his place in a big way. I can't stress this enough -- if you've got means, PLEASE ORDER TAKEOUT this week from a local restaurant. (And leave a good tip!) — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of those lies that'll be lost in the history books b/c there aren't enough pages. But it's menacing in this moment. The president is spreading egregiously false information that will incite his base (already seeing it on my FB feed) and fuel talk of a rigged election. https://t.co/569qo7Dz5B — PolitiTweet.org
