@rschles @BeschlossDC And here I was planning to spend the afternoon reading up on the greatness of Millard Fillmore. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnastoehr My apologies. I just read the slightly longer version on the web and you portrayed my views precisely and accurately. Thanks again for the kind words at this point of rare disagreement. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@johnastoehr Just for the record -- and I so appreciate the plaudits -- my hope was that witnesses would have moved public opinion. I had minimal expectations that anything would have moved Trump's Senate enablers. — PolitiTweet.org

@KseniaCoffman Thanks. But, alas, Twitter doesn't let me pay for an ad-free experience. — PolitiTweet.org

@rschles I guess we've have reached my "Say Goodnight, Gracie" moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Overwhelmed by HBO promos on my Twitter feed, I just realized that there are also no “a’s” or “u’s“ in “Threesome.” — PolitiTweet.org

@MilliganSusan You think I read a word of that article? — PolitiTweet.org

@MatthewSitman I was thinking more of someone on the left flank of the Democratic Party who is actually a Democrat. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Don't under-estimate how hard it is to manage the majority in a 50-50 Senate. A major asset that Schumer has is that he is roughly in the middle of the Senate Democratic caucus. Toughness without the votes is just posturing for true believers on MSNBC. — PolitiTweet.org

@ASFried @TheJohnsonPost I hope you're right about a 9/11 Commission with major subpoena power. But I am not optimistic. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ASFried @TheJohnsonPost Twitter isn't made to order for a protracted discussion. But, simply, I believe that a 3-minute clip of Herrera Beutler telling the Kevin McCarthy story would reach tens of millions who weren't watching the trial on TV. The stipulation is half forgotten already by MSNBC viewers. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@pklinkne I agree with the sentiment, but the metaphor may need work. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ASFried @TheJohnsonPost From everything I have heard and read, there were no negotiations on timing. For example, one witness per side (Herrera Beutler was eager to testify) would not have taken months. The Senate could have limited the number of witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ASFried @TheJohnsonPost Again, the argument is whether you are playing to the voters about Trump's flagrant misdeeds or whether you are narrowly focused on Senate votes. I realize that witnesses may not have changed a single Senate vote, but it may have changed the larger dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

The curse of writing on deadline: I wish I had known more about the disarray among House managers on calling witnesses when I wrote my impeachment wrap-up for @newrepublic. But I didn't have until 4:00 am when this revealing WPost story appeared: https://t.co/9ChfEjuHKX — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In my impeachment wrap-up for @newrepublic, I describe the Democratic snafu on trial witnesses in terms that Chuck Schumer (D-Brooklyn) can recall from his youth. As Casey Stengel said about the hapless 1962 Mets, "Can't anyone here play this game." https://t.co/R2c6WezYjh — PolitiTweet.org

@InsideCableNews But many more press handlers damaged the person they were working for by trying to hold on or found themselves pushed out a week later. — PolitiTweet.org

Major rule of politics: If you handle press and you're the story for more than 24 hours, then you have no choice but to resign immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Would it be considered a violation of Senate protocol if I start chanting from my home office, "We want Castor. We want Castor." — PolitiTweet.org

@SweetAl Raskin, Cicilene and Dean seemed deflated by the outcome of the witness fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Neguse is the first Democratic manager who sounds like he is doing more than just going through the motions. — PolitiTweet.org

@lehmannchris At least, the Cubs had Ernie Banks and later Ron Santo. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course. Just her voice repeating McCarthy’s words would have reached millions of voters who are not watching the trial. — PolitiTweet.org

@ktumulty Nobody cares about the record. Actual Republican Congresswoman on camera=viral clips millions of people will see.

@NoahCRothman Such a big week for the Senate. Not being in session. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This is so important. With 54 votes for witnesses, the Democrats plus four Republicans could work out a way to wrap everything up in 10 days. So until Covid stimulus clears the House, there is nothing that major to delay. Even the Merrick Garland hearing is not until February 22. — PolitiTweet.org
