@stuloeser I yield. Evan Bayh's comeback tour was disastrous for other reasons like saying that he'd never lobby after he left the Senate and then becoming...you guessed it. Of course, Bayh lacked Hillary's brazen ability in 2000 to claim the Yankees were always one of her favorite teams. — PolitiTweet.org

How about Senate candidates? Evan Bayh mucked up his 2016 Indiana Senate comeback tour by misremembering the street address where he was supposedly living in Indianapolis when his real home was in DC. https://t.co/M1IjRvH7Zj — PolitiTweet.org

As Jacky Rosen illustrates, it's not just Manchin and Sinema who have problems with a complete elimination of the filibuster. Which is why a return to a "talking filibuster" may be the best we can get. I wrote about it earlier this spring for @newrepublic: https://t.co/1wdJBIP3XY — PolitiTweet.org

Clever. But Nixon's Checkers speech was not an exercise in candor. And I doubt the Adams can be as mawkish as Nixon was about Checkers and Pat's "good Republican cloth coat." — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "New York has the kind of model public finance program that should inspire daisies to burst through the sidewalks and larks to sing from every tree that grows in Brooklyn." So why then does every mayoral candidate have a Super PAC? https://t.co/h9h6LwAGgJ — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidCornDC I'll guess. They all start with a consonant. Whoops. Isn't there something in here about the 2020 election? — PolitiTweet.org

@adamnagourney And in the NY print edition, the Page Four space reserved for COVID for the last year is given over to an International story about the uneasy mood in Northern Ireland. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@blakehounshell Yeah, it's a real problem in WV. So many voters instead refer to it as H.R. 1 before they launch into learned dissertations on the tangled history of the filibuster. Often they also refer to Bobby Byrd and his obsession with the steep decline of the Roman Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnJHarwood I have such powerful memories of him from my time at the Post in the early 1980s. He's not forgotten around here. — PolitiTweet.org

@maggieNYT Nixon and Agnew followed up with a scotched earth “law and order” campaign for the 1970 off-year elections and the GOP had a dominant message for two decades. It is the backdrop to the 1994 crime bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@harrysiegel Recommend an old book, “The Real Majority” by Richard Scammon (JFK’s Census director) and Ben Wattenberg (an LBJ speechwriter) who presciently nailed this big trend in 1970. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This may be the best piece -- despite the run-on tweet below -- on the NYC mayor's race. And I want to add that the "law and order" issue that defined the GOP from Nixon to Reagan emerged from 1969 mayoral races in NYC (Procaccino attacked "limousine liberals") and elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

@edensbrother @KateAronoff Also every Senate committee chair would be a Republican thereby eliminating the ability to hold hearings. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@edensbrother @KateAronoff No Chuck Schumer as majority leader, no way anything (and I mean anything) the Democrats want gets to the floor of the Senate. That's a huge difference. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JACochran29 @elal523 @SusanZakin @jaketapper Take a look at the congressional majorities that FDR and LBJ had. That's the epic difference. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@KateAronoff A small point: Chuck Schumer is only Majority Leader because Joe Manchin is a Democrat. Nothing would get to the floor if McConnell were still majority leader. Manchin is better than the Democrats could ever realistically hope for given the pro-Trump electorate in WV. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@SusanZakin @jaketapper Yes. But on a bunch of this stuff, he is also the public face of other reluctant Democratic senators like Sinema, Angus King, maybe Maggie Hassan, maybe Feinstein. The truth is that the Democrats really don't have more than maybe 46 votes for H.R. 1. And I'm being generous. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@elal523 @SusanZakin @jaketapper Stimulus bill passed with Manchin’s vote. Schumer as majority leader controls what legislation comes to the floor. There would have been no vote with McConnell in charge. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@SusanZakin @jaketapper Do you really believe that anyone else elected from the overwhelmingly Trump state of WV would be better? Or maybe we should drive him into the GOP and make Mitch McConnell majority leader. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@greenfield64 New York is quite generous with candidates who have shuffled off the mortal coil. I recall voting for Ted Weiss for reelection in 1992 even though his voting record in Congress after he death in September was quite sparse. — PolitiTweet.org

@k8croy My favorite NYC ticket was the GOP ticket in 1961: Lefkowitz, Fino and Gilhooley. But yours is up there. As is Wagner, Scravane and Beame. — PolitiTweet.org
