Kudos to @jameshohmann for smartly linking Trump's self-destructive denialism of Covid with his enthusiasm for Norman Vincent Peale's 1952 self-help classic: "The Power of Positive Thinking." Peale even officiated at Trump's first wedding: https://t.co/FTgpkWQEvJ — PolitiTweet.org

Like the first 1960 debate. Or it could be a split-screen debate like the third Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960. But, again, I am totally baffled why the Commission on Presidential Debates allowed even that small audience to watch in Cleveland. — PolitiTweet.org

It should be held as scheduled, but in a television studio in Washington, with no live audience. https://t.co/1iG7gp6Fy6

@DemFromCT Very interesting. I am happy to argue that there was pre-existing anti-Trump tilt that Covid-19 made worse. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemFromCT Part of the problem is that almost every poll has a different definition of at what age "older votes" begins. Is it 55, 60 or 65? That's one reason why comparisons over time are tricky. How do you compare a sub-sample of voters over 55 to the 2016 exit poll data that began at 65? — PolitiTweet.org

My guess has always been that older voters have been paying intense attention to the details of COVID from the beginning. So they tracked Trump’s lies and incompetence in a way that they didn’t on the Mexican Wall or tariffs or gridding. — PolitiTweet.org

@david_darmofal @JoyfullySunTzu But Dan Rather was referring to the last week in Washington. And my point was about the debate and Trump’s hospitalization. Neither of us were talking about the merits of diversity in normal situations. — PolitiTweet.org

Iron Rule of the pandemic: No one should dare show a visible copy of “The Power Broker” on TV unless she or he has read the Caro classic. Why should I believe anyone who is, in fact, faking their reading? Your boss should be ashamed. — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm Before “Citizens,” I grew up on R.R. Palmer. I am reading Popkin in part to see how the orthodoxy has changed since I was reading the 1930s Marxist historians like Mathiez in college. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading this perfect-pitch @Sulliview column on White House lies and the need for truth, I remembered that Roy Cohn (Trump's mentor) died insisting that he had liver cancer rather than AIDs. It's a centerpiece of "Angels in America." https://t.co/oopaFPPL13 — PolitiTweet.org

Up to now, the worst super-spreader event in history was the Sept. 28, 1918, Liberty Loan parade in Philadelphia. Within 48 hours, Philadelphia's hospital beds were filled with those dying of influenza. The Barrett event at the White House may prove worse. https://t.co/4JqloCrDyj — PolitiTweet.org
