This harrowing piece by Greg Jaffe is the sort of story that many of us are inclined to skip because of an understandable malady called Sadness Overload. But this is so well done and so haunting that I strongly recommend it: https://t.co/MSfFgxcn7n — PolitiTweet.org

@DickPolman1 Trump gave the 18 interviews out of his boundless sense of compassion for the "rapidly fading Bob Woodward." That touching sense of loyalty to everyone on the downside is one of the hallmarks of Trump's nurturing personality. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @maggieNYT for this passage: "'The Democrats are so crazy, they’re basically defending Baltimore,' said Mr. Kushner, whose family’s real-estate company is a notorious landlord in the city." https://t.co/jAhmHsMzyJ — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@terryshumaker But why does he have to announce it to the world? The point is that the only rationale for a list is to arouse the GOP base. And, in a rational world, an incumbent president shouldn't need to do this so late in the campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

@greger_mary Alas, Supreme Court justices are confirmed by the Senate. The House has no role. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Can I nominate this as the non-story of the week? Trump reveals a list of 20 Supreme Court names. Nate Silver gives Trump a 25% chance of winning the election. Even if Trump kept his word, anyone on that list has about a 1% chance of being nominated. https://t.co/VZ6pvzfRRh — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesFallows Thank you for watching so I don't have to. — PolitiTweet.org

@pjmclaugh I am not talking Trump's hardcore supporters. I am referring to those older voters who now favor Biden in the polls. Things like the Woodward book make it unlikely that they will switch back. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
For some odd reason I sense that the Woodward book will not help Trump with older voters who are fearful of COVID. The point about revelations like Woodward's is that they make it harder for Trump to come back since they harden sentiment against him. https://t.co/L6BkXQIbN3 — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidLauter @johnmsides You could be right. But what I love about "The Gamble" is how it doused all the breathless Mark Halpern-like speculation that this or that could be a "game changer." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@johnmsides Yes. I remember the presentation by the Obama people at the Harvard post-2012 election session. And a safe prediction: I will cite that number from "The Gamble" frequently as we get close to the first debate. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
And "The Gamble" by political scientists John Sides and Lynn Vavreck demonstrates that the net effect of the debate was temporarily moving about 2 percent of Obama support into the "Undecided" camp. They soon came back to Obama. https://t.co/jw2YIm2lHM — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Obama's first 2012 debate may have been the worst debate performance in any fall presidential debate since 1960. It didn't move the needle much in a stable election. And a fella named Joe Biden rebounded for the team in the VP debate. — PolitiTweet.org

@leejcaroll That's why I thought the Journal editorial was so desperate. It is like saying that Trump can win if he can speak fluent Urdu. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
WSJ editorial: President Trump is trailing Joe Biden, who has succeeded so far in making the race a referendum on the incumbent. If Mr. Trump is going to stage a comeback...he will have to make the race about policy differences." Good luck with that. https://t.co/mGW0gUAfy3 — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisBuryNews There are lines that people cannot cross. For Ginsberg, it's Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Bencjacobs Maybe 1800. Maybe 1860. A case can be made for 1876 but that was a year after the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell seemed a more artful hedge than the boring "since the Civil War." — PolitiTweet.org

The Ginsberg Op-Ed is a reminder that for the next eight weeks we will see dozens of principled Republicans breaking from the Trump fan club to dissent from the ugliest the presidential campaign since the invention of the telephone. — PolitiTweet.org

Current COVID total deaths are about 190,000. That's more than the combined 2016 Trump-Clinton election margins in WI, PA, MI, NH, MN and NV. The deaths were, in effect, equal to 66 electoral votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@petersagal @petermarksdrama My wife and everyone I knew refused to go with me as I researched how bad it was, so I got a solo seat. It was worse than I imagined. But never have I seen so many ripped T-shirts and backwards baseball caps on a Broadway audience. — PolitiTweet.org
