I was in Mr. Diamond's Chemistry class when the news came. Can't recall whether it is an announcement over the wheezing PA system or shouts in the hall. Mr. Diamond vainly tried to continue the class. It may be why I never learned the Periodic Table. — PolitiTweet.org

@BGrueskin Nor do I. It is a conclusion -- like most lasting insights -- that I reached only after the passage of decades. — PolitiTweet.org

A strong case could be made that the appropriate time for Ford to have pardoned Nixon would have been after a trial rather than before one. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChloDubs Thanks. And then, with the help of a very indulgent great aunt, I saw a lot of early 1960s Broadway. Including the original Peter Brook version of "Marat/Sade." — PolitiTweet.org

@ChloDubs "My Fair Lady" on Broadway from the balcony with the third cast long after Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews were gone. Only Stanley Holloway (as Alfred P. Doolittle) remained from the original cast. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mistah_Al Sir. If you reread the column, I wrote about how none of the Trump efforts to overturn an election would be successful. Michigan illustrates that there won’t be rogue efforts by state legislatures. — PolitiTweet.org

From your piece and others that I have read on this, it is clear that Goldwater, Rhodes and Scott told Nixon (a man who could count votes) that he was doomed in Congress. They didn't have to urge him to resign -- they knew he would as the Goldwater quote suggests. — PolitiTweet.org

Given how much money that Democrats squandered on ridiculous races like the challenge to McConnell in deep red Kentucky, I think this is a reasonable request from the Biden camp. And, trust me, the Democrats don't lack for prosperous would-be donors. — PolitiTweet.org

@jtuckermartin Many Republicans, in fact, run for the state legislature only because it increases their odds of being invited to the White House to bask in the glory that is Donald J. Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not a California expert. But my quick count showed seven House districts in California where two Democrats ran against each other in the general because of the California top-two rule for primary victors. That alone should question Pelosi's numbers. https://t.co/aLbokKmgC2 — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfCiara Of course, the record of collection from any entity even loosely connected with Trump is not inspiring. But levying attorneys' fees does seem like the best approach to frivolous and embarrassing law suits to salve Trump's ego. — PolitiTweet.org
