@JonSeaton18 Manfred Ball. Ghose runners on second. Seven inning games. More teams in the playoffs than not. Impressive how one man can (backed by dumb owners) desecrate nearly 150 years of baseball. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me nominate William Dodd, FDR's first ambassador to Germany, who was naive about the Nazis and had a daughter who reveled in her affairs with them. See Eric Larson's fascinating book, "In the Garden of Beasts": https://t.co/AE07DKcho5 — PolitiTweet.org

For those waiting for a definitive response to the Trump-ification of the White House Rose Garden, I direct you to an interview that best-selling Bunny Mellon biographer @MerylGordon did with Newsweek. Spoiler alert: Ms. Gordon, whom I know well, hates it. https://t.co/76PA37hXF4 — PolitiTweet.org

Such an important point. Talking at length to voters (not just quick quote grabs) are an important complement to polls. Without a lot of voter interviews by reporters (which are hard in a pandemic), we tend to over-react to the polls, which are sometimes lagging indicators. — PolitiTweet.org

WPost headline: "Liberals worry Democrats lag behind GOP’s focus on courts." The story may be entirely valid, but if there is an evergreen headline phrase, it's "Liberals worry..." It's on the Post front webpage, but actual article has a different hed: https://t.co/vYyT5a6ebY — PolitiTweet.org

@KASKB I'm not a criminologist nor do I play one in TV. But what I do know is that experts spent years trying to analyze why crime and the murder rate in NYC dropped so precipitously beginning in the 1990s. You can't do causation based on a few months in a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarnyla I think de Blasio is the worst mayor since I have lived here by a huge margin. But this is nothing like the 1980s or 1990s. — PolitiTweet.org

@andyblewis Doubt we really disagree much on this. My point was that the strategic imperatives that Clinton faced in 1992 were worlds away from Biden’s situation right now. Twitter brevity led me to muddying my point, I fear. — PolitiTweet.org

More accurately, Trump reads the NY Post. And the NY Post is portraying NYC as akin to Kabul in a particularly violent week. — PolitiTweet.org

For all the glib talk that Biden needs a Sister Souljah moment (comparable to Clinton in 1992), Clinton was running third in the polls in June 1992 when he made his speech. It was, in effect, a ploy to define Clinton as a different kind of Democrat. And Bush was no Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Where is Sean Spicer to spin this the other way? "The Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention." https://t.co/FhIAfMpnjF — PolitiTweet.org

Even more than most days, I would hate to be Bill Stepien today as the president discovers that Joe Biden got higher TV ratings than Trump. The numbers only matter in terms of Trump's very likely rage and the search for a scapegoat: https://t.co/rBSYJpYWAZ — PolitiTweet.org

@RitaOldLadyDem_ Thanks for highlighting this. I believe that the political ramifications of what is going in sports have not yet been fully factored in. We are not in Archie Bunker's America. Nor are most voters the kind of people who angrily call into sports talk radio. — PolitiTweet.org

My latest: "Confining Trump to a teleprompter for 70 enervating minutes was seemingly a triumph of the professionalism of his new campaign manager, Bill Stepien. But, in reality, it was a reminder that a disciplined Trump is a deadly dull Trump." https://t.co/gzrb187HS6 — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "Not even Fox News will be able to shield Trump from the harsh reviews and the blah ratings of the GOP convention. The likely outcome is that the desperate president will resist being coached and confined for the rest of the campaign." https://t.co/gzrb187HS6 — PolitiTweet.org

Since Trump sees himself as the equal of Lincoln, I couldn't help thinking about a line from the Gettysburg Address to describe tonight's speech: "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." — PolitiTweet.org
