An exceptions 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. — PolitiTweet.org

@k8croy We were talking about convention scandals. Walter Jenkins was arrested three weeks before the 1964 election. And since it reflected homophobia, the Jenkins scandal was always particularly sad. — PolitiTweet.org

@juliaioffe @Yair_Rosenberg You mean the Book of Revelation is not in the Old Teatament. — PolitiTweet.org

Very important point. Building a phantom Wall with Mexico is an abstraction to 99 percent of voters. But the virus is real — and that makes spin nearly impossible for Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

In the midst of the Profumo scandal in Britain in the early 1960s, Mandy Rice-Davies said in response to Lord Astor's denial that he had an affair with her, "He would [say that], wouldn't he?" That rule ("He would say that") is so applicable to politics and unconvincing denials. — PolitiTweet.org

@LynnSherr I'm going with the Tin Cup Brigade. All of them can say to each other from their detention families, "You know, Trump was a better candidate when you were in charge." — PolitiTweet.org

From my new Biden piece in @newrepublic: "If Biden’s acceptance speech could be boiled down to a single thought, implicit in his rhetoric, it would be: 'I will be damned if the light of American democracy will be extinguished on my watch.'” https://t.co/DZiq06TZdF — PolitiTweet.org

This is a speechwriter's analysis of the Biden speech, complete with a reference to James Blaine in 1876. But more than that, it is a tale (and I have been covering Biden the whole time) of how far he was come since his first race for president in 1987. — PolitiTweet.org

I have reached the moment when I don’t want to ever hear another word about the Villages. By the way, I feel the same way about the Park Slope Food Co-Op in Brooklyn. — PolitiTweet.org

I hope Bloomberg goes after Trump's exaggerations about his wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

@PopRaver Sorry, it wasn't shown on the network that I was watching. Also, it was less than 30 seconds. During the primaries, the "cancer moonshot" was often five minutes of his stump speech. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
The Democrats who didn't win the nomination are coming across as funnier than any comic talent, except, of course, Sarah Cooper. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
What happened to the "cancer moonshot," which was a staple of Biden's stump speech in the primaries? When Julia Louis-Dreyfus just mentioned it, I realized that I had barely heard a word about it all week. — PolitiTweet.org

@SendStephen I think I have read that she is a Baptist. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden would, of course, be only our second Catholic president. Chris Coons referred to those Americans who do not follow any faith. I believe Al Gore in 2000 was the first presidential nominee to acknowledge non-believers and atheists. — PolitiTweet.org

@vicharmonnyc To me, they were fighting words. — PolitiTweet.org

Saddest moment of the convention for print journalists: Julia Louis-Dreyfus just made a weak joke about "magazines, remember them?" — PolitiTweet.org

I really hope as a surprise, the Democrats plan to bring out Clint Eastwood and a chair tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

@dick_nixon That is, of course, assuming that Pelosi really wants Kennedy to win the primary. But, of course, that has undoubtedly occurred to you, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

@jackl220 Sorry to disappoint you. But, seriously, what substance did I miss? — PolitiTweet.org

A rare mistake in stagecraft: "While Kamala Harris gamely proceeded with no audience feedback amid the silent flags and bunting, it inadvertently emphasized what was missing (a real convention) rather than what was there (a compelling VP candidate)." https://t.co/TQAA2c9ViC — PolitiTweet.org

@mike_littwin FDR at Madison Square Garden talking about his enemies in late October 1936: "They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred." So short answer, "No, Roosevelt didn't care what Hoover said." — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mike_littwin The Hoover speech had lines like this directed at FDR: "The 1932 campaign was a pretty good imitation of this first stage of European tactics. You may recall the promises of the abundant life, the propaganda of hate." Propaganda of hate doesn't sound too abstract. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Teddy Roosevelt in 1912, Herbert Hoover in 1936 and Harry Truman in 1956 all bitterly attacked their successors at their party's convention. Obama broke absolutely no lasting norms last night as I write in @newrepublic: https://t.co/TQAA2c9ViC — PolitiTweet.org
