Here is the ultimate evergreen police story that can happen anywhere in any decade: "After prostitution arrest, Seattle police captain got preferential treatment from fellow officers." https://t.co/XEIC9xqVpy — PolitiTweet.org

@NormOrnstein I like to think of myself as headed to Podcast Limbo. As soon as I listen to 389,357 podcasts, I may be allowed to move on. — PolitiTweet.org

On the eve of the Jewish holidays, I keep returning to a question posed on signs in front of Christian churches: "Where will you spend eternity?" My answer: Trying to listen to all the podcasts I have been sent. — PolitiTweet.org

This article asks the right question: Why does Olivia Troye in her early 40s have so much more courage than Mattis or Kelly or Coats at the end of their careers? — PolitiTweet.org

@AndreiCherny That may be part of it. But 21 points in four years is a lot. Also Gore downplayed the environment in his 2000 campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

@StephenQWorkman I was specific about the period from 1996 to 2000. And not later. My point was based on a post-2000 Democratic study that I can’t find quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

This ad illustrates the difference between former Trump officials who whisper to Woodward and those who have the courage to come forward publicly. The power of this ad should be a lesson to those insiders who are anti-Trump but timid. — PolitiTweet.org

@thepaulkyle A little more complicated. The data is indeed from a WV exit poll in 2008. But it is the Democratic primary rather than the general election. Question also includes people who voted for Obama because he is black. Anyway, here's the poll: https://t.co/16gl5xlqIQ — PolitiTweet.org

@thepaulkyle Don't recall that poll. — PolitiTweet.org

Clinton won WV by 15 points in 1996. Gore lost it by 6 points in 2000. Best theory for that 21-point difference: Married women in WV appalled by Clinton's conduct and the Democrats' wink-and-a-nod tolerance of it. Guns and coal didn't change that much as an issue in four years. — PolitiTweet.org

Jaime Harrison to me in July 2019: “It’s hard to get people in D.C. to see past the red in South Carolina. Sometimes they think of South Carolina as red as West Virginia, or Oklahoma, or Nebraska—when it’s not." https://t.co/IH9AG7UHVE — PolitiTweet.org

@GreggJLevine @NYCMayor And de Blasio started the year from a low base after his embarrassing presidential campaign and his mediocre at best record in NYC. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading the aggressively pro-Trump coverage in Murdoch's (print) NY Post, I begin to understand what it was like to read the Chicago Tribune when FDR was in the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

@kurteichenwald And Trump wants to deport them. A lovely duo. — PolitiTweet.org

@GiladEdelman @glastris @ryanlcooper As someone who dealt with Glenn Greenwald at Salon in the first decade of this century, I can say with confidence that he was always "this colossal an asshole." — PolitiTweet.org

Also, a door knock when nobody answers is like a literature drop. That can be done through the mail. Voter persuasion is really hard to do when you're wearing a mask. Of course, Trump volunteers are probably mask-less. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the Trump's team's arsenal of options: "The technology, also called a “heat ray,” was developed to disperse large crowds in the early 2000s but was shelved amid concerns about its effectiveness, safety and the ethics of using it on human beings." https://t.co/9GLiRqtxJz — PolitiTweet.org

@greenfield64 @RyanLizza I will offer one as well for Biden: "What have you learned about organizing an administration from Obama in 2008? And were there mistakes you'd avoid as president n 2021?" — PolitiTweet.org

How soon before Trump announces that anyone who votes for his reelection will get a vaccine before November 3? — PolitiTweet.org

Really interesting argument by a great political pollster. I would love to read a rebuttal, since I am quite convinced by @MarkMellman — PolitiTweet.org

Manfred Ball represents a new low in terms of the games on the field. The decimation of the regular season is the worst, though it is amazing that baseball played extra inning ball without help since the 19th century. — PolitiTweet.org
