This Trump email captures the Politics of Resentment: "Biden’s campaign manager says we’re 'a bunch of f---ers.' This is what the Left thinks of you. They HATE you and only want to BRING YOU DOWN. Unbelievable. We cannot allow these LOW-LIFE DEMOCRATS to run our Country." — PolitiTweet.org

A plea that, alas, will not be heeded: All of you working on your "Predictions for 2021" columns and articles, please stop. If 2020 doesn't teach humility, nothing will. Remember that few even thought in December 2019 that Biden would get the Democratic nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cash828 @KatCapps It's still a theory on my part. But the pressure by the Biden campaign to mail absentee votes early I think prevented a fraction of swing-state voters (just enough to make a difference) to avoid thinking about legislative elections. — PolitiTweet.org

@ronfromsandiego I see the argument. But I'm not sure that this hunker-in-place strategy is working. And what it means is that all these inside-the-White-House stories lack credibility with Capitol Hill Republicans because they're anonymous. — PolitiTweet.org

That's what puzzles me, as well. What are they afraid of? That they will never get a good table at Mar-a-Lago again? Rudy Giuliani will never invite them to do shady business deals abroad? That they might be subject to Trial by Tweet? — PolitiTweet.org

What America needs is a mass walkout by people in the Trump orbit who go public with their names attached about this threat to democracy from the Madness of King of Donald. Instead, the gutless brigade just whispers in the shadows. https://t.co/tuusZ4Ja67 — PolitiTweet.org

@Cash828 @KatCapps One theory is that early voters in swing states felt they didn't know enough about state legislative races and left that line blanks. Pressured to vote for Biden early, they did just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Evidence for a tentative theory of mine: Democratic emphasis on voting early for Biden in swing states led to a down-ballot drop-off. Drop-off is sharp in state legislative elections leading to GOP gains. https://t.co/VRF3w5wWOA — PolitiTweet.org

I would hate to be Hugo Chavez right now knowing that Sidney Powell is coming after him -- and may have a new White House role with Trump. Of course, most days I would hate to be Hugo Chavez since he is inconveniently dead. https://t.co/15p6MIiUft — PolitiTweet.org

@jackshafer I'm much more defending Broder as a reporter and a sweet guy than as a columnist. But my point of this particular anecdote is that even a decade ago, search engines had no idea who Broder was compared to, say, a fourth-tier soap opera character. — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote an obit for David Broder in 2011 for Politics Daily as it was being killed by Ariana Huffington. A new HuffPost widget appeared on my screen: “SEO value of this article is zero. Are you sure you want to publish?” So I added a bit on his romance with Beyoncé and published. — PolitiTweet.org
