@RachelMorris Terrific set of points. — PolitiTweet.org

Four reasons why candidates with no hope run for president: 1). In quest of speaking fees or a cable TV contract; 2). To build an email list; 3). To set themselves up for a future race; and 4). Total self-delusion. — PolitiTweet.org

I do not know if Rubio actually will run, for the record. I do know that a whole bunch of people will for reasons that are beyond me.

In "Boys on the Bus" (1973) seriousness as a political reporter was whether you covered the Western States Governors Conference. Today, it is obsessing over the Democrats' 2024 primary calendar. I know I am. https://t.co/CHdDBZyneB — PolitiTweet.org

As an alum of the Post Magazine (1979-1983), I am deeply saddened by this decision. Reading long-form journalism is so much easier with a magazine than reading it on your phone or desktop. — PolitiTweet.org

@bluegiraffeguy @newrepublic Strongly disagree. The bulk of my readers are probably over 35 or 40. Why should I do awkward cultural references, relevant to 23-year-olds, that I don't understand and many of readers also won't get. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@AdamPeters @tomdiemer @owillis I know about the multiple snafus. But it doesn't matter to the Democrats that the GOP mucked up the count in 2012 and 2016. But, boy, does the 2020 screw-up rankle. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@tomdiemer @owillis I always enjoyed covering Iowa too -- and I agree with you about the electorate. But the state is doomed as far as the Democrats are concerned for three reasons: 1). The 2020 snafu; 2). A 90-percent-plus white electorate; and 3). Its post-Trump GOP voting history. — PolitiTweet.org

@bluegiraffeguy @newrepublic The “Caddy Shack” problem is why you can’t write to the lowest common denominator. It is also why there is a link to Abbott and Costello in my piece. — PolitiTweet.org

@MFanikos @owillis Don’t have the numbers in front of me. But NH has exceedingly high turnout for its presidential primaries. — PolitiTweet.org

@bluegiraffeguy @newrepublic It is one of the most famous comedy sketches of the last century. Sorry that you were offended by its age. — PolitiTweet.org

@kstraith @newrepublic What that would do is dramatically raise the costs of running for president since under-funded candidates hope to do well in the first two states to raise money for the rest. Michigan is particularly expensive since it has nearly 10 million people. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@owillis I agree with jettisoning Iowa. I've been covering the NH primary since 1980 and I haven't seen a single butter sculpture or hay bale. Don't conflate NH with Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I make the strongest case I can in @newrepublic for keeping the NH primary at the front of the line as the Democrats work out their calendar for 2024:https://t.co/tjMBPejh3m — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "Democracy will always be in peril if one political party remains beholden to charlatans, conspiracy theorists, and contemptible demagogues. That’s why the only permanent purge of Trumpism requires a landslide election in 2024." https://t.co/NvtU06N0Nk — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In quest of a landslide in 2024. From my @newrepublic piece: "Since the Civil War, there never have been back-to-back congressional elections in which the margins in both the House and the Senate were this tight." https://t.co/NvtU06N0Nk — PolitiTweet.org

More surprising deaths in the former Soviet Empire than any English village favored by Miss Marple or similar detectives. Also more than Louise Penny's Three Pines. https://t.co/Kc3MTdgL3H — PolitiTweet.org

For those looking for a very good British police procedural, let me recommend "Karen Pirie" on Britbox. It's three 90-minute episodes and it hangs together in the end with no visible missing pieces. — PolitiTweet.org

This 1968 ad ridiculing Spiro Agnew for Vice President didn't change many votes. But, for sport, it could easily be repurposed against "Senator Herschel Walker." https://t.co/LLBtO5L1rL — PolitiTweet.org

@jerryadler @marybschneider I wrote an article in October, which I won't burden you with, that looked at political science research and I came to agree with their conclusion that there are no "killer ads." In a close race, there are so many ads that an individual ad simply can't break through the clutter. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jerryadler @marybschneider My only tiny point -- and I probably shouldn't have raised it -- was that too often liberals get convinced that something is a "killer ad" that will change the contours of an election. Generally, those ads are designed to appeal to true believers. A decidedly minor point. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@marybschneider Except who other than a partisan Democrat would watch a political ad that runs for over two minutes? This is a classic example of a spot aimed at would-be donors rather than undecided voters. — PolitiTweet.org
