It is impressive that a convention session that mocks democratic traditions (a naturalization ceremony from the White House conducted by an illegal DHS Acting secretary and Pompeo coming up soon from Israel) could be this boring. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @mawaldman: For the DNC too -- why do we call this a 'convention'? It's a party broadcast. In UK and Europe, there are party conferences… — PolitiTweet.org

@jameshohmann I'm still going with Brett Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court. Runner-up: General Mark Miley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs I surrender. I over-simplified because I forgot the inspiring sophistication of my Twitter audience. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing like a Mike Pence video to create riveting must-watch TV. — PolitiTweet.org

Schools are disproportionately a local issue. That's why it was off-putting when Bill Clinton built his 1996 reelection campaign around school uniforms. Now in the middle of a pandemic, someone tuning in tonight would think that school choice was the nation's biggest issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Somehow I don't think it is getting Trump votes in the upscale Detroit or Columbus suburbs. — PolitiTweet.org

This speech is harrowing.

@rmeszoly You have inspired me to write or call him tomorrow since I have a sense that Twitter is not his natural environment. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman I'm humming along as I write these words. — PolitiTweet.org

@rmeszoly I particularly loved "The United States of Ambition" about how reporters always focus on the demand side (what the voters want), but the real question is the supply side (what those who put themselves forward for office want). — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman Of course, we need booze a hell of a lot more these days than F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda ever did. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@rmeszoly Alan and I started at CQ the same year (1969). I also feel remiss that I haven't talked to him in months. So glad that we have reconnected via that much derided thing called Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@rmeszoly Golly. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In a century, we have gone from the Roaring Twenties to the Cultural Warring Twenties. Of course, events like the Scopes Trial (1925) did anticipate the cultural battles of today. But I still like the overall conceit. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish it were funnier. And more focused on Falwell and infinitely less on abortion. I missed the event at the time, since I was probably shopping at a SF-only store called (of all the odd names) Banana Republic. — PolitiTweet.org

Ratings for the 2016 Democratic Convention were also higher than the GOP Convention. I might venture the guess that any night that Trump doesn't dominate the proceedings is considered skippable TV even by many Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMaddenDC @pkcapitol I remember when Santorum sorta won the Iowa caucuses -- and, with the largest press contingent of his campaign, flew to NH to do his first event at a nursing home. I also recall with embarrassment asking Santorum about two weeks before Iowa, "Don't you ever get discouraged?" — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@KevinMaddenDC @pkcapitol Santorum lost the Michigan and Ohio primaries in 2012 by a total of 30,000 votes. Had he won both, he would probably have beaten Romney for the nomination. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dceiver Counter-arguments: 1). Voters have seen Trump in office rather than a theory of Trump; 2). Biden does not have anything like (cliche alert) the political baggage of Hillary; and 3). This is who Biden is. A Biden inflamed with rage would be fake and unconvincing. Example: Al Gore. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman @RepKatiePorter Love the anecdote and have forgotten the movie. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Quite simply @RepKatiePorter is the best congressional questioner I can recall. Ever. And, Lord, have I seen a lot of hearings. And there are days when, quite simply, I can imagine Porter as the future of the Democratic Party, something I say very rarely. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Totally agree with @greenfield64 that the 1996 Clinton-Dole contest had the smallest footprint on history. Both candidates were comparative moderates running at a time of peace and prosperity. Imagine an America where school uniforms were a major issue. https://t.co/nRgkjaVBbS — PolitiTweet.org

@mattizcoop From a safe undisclosed location. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Surprised that Brett Kavanaugh is not scheduled to address the GOP Convention from the chambers of the Supreme Court. Maybe the Trump people (who so love the norms of democracy) are holding that one as a programming secret until Wednesday night. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
And if the odds favoring a Biden victory are correct (as I pray they are), then government officials really should slow walk the march to "Trump time" since the Trump show is likely to be canceled in November. — PolitiTweet.org

An exceptionally smart @benyt column on Zeynep Tufecki. Her masks-save-lives Op-Ed in the Times in mid-March may have been the most important piece of journalism during the pandemic. https://t.co/jEtu2PaieW — PolitiTweet.org
