@GreggJLevine True about Obama in 2004. But it was a pretty non-ideological speech as powerful as it was. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@GreggJLevine Also, I want to win the election and then and only then start arguing about the future. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@GreggJLevine We are doomed to disagree. I think Kasich is just what you need at this convention -- a prominent Republican who is dramatically demonstrating that horror at Trump transcends ideology. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@GreggJLevine Again, I ask the simple question: Name a leftwing political figure who spoke in the 9:00-11:00 prime time slots at the winning Obama 2008 and 2012 conventions? Remember that because the convention is virtual, there aren't the afternoon and early evening sessions of yore. — PolitiTweet.org

@SEAallday206 TV audience for the convention is different than the audience for Tik Tok. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@LOLGOP Name a leftwing figure who spoke at the winning 2008 and 2012 Obama conventions? I'm talking about prime time from 9:00-11:00 pm -- and not the afternoon sessions that were the norm before this year. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@LOLGOP I think other speakers starting with the VP nominee would do a lot more with turnout in Wayne County. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I strongly disagree. The point of a convention is to win votes in November. It’s not a moment to (cliche alert) preach to the choir. It may be unfair, but AOC will not win you votes in the Detroit suburbs. — PolitiTweet.org

The relative time alotted by @DNC to the likes of Kasich and Bloomberg vs. actual Democrats like @AOC tells you the… https://t.co/NRBQOnxOeB

@OrrChris Biden (a constant Amtrak commuter when he was a senator) is even infinitely better than Trump (aka President Infrastructure Week) on trains. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlecMacGillis I never knew Russell Baker but as as teen-ager, I waned to be him. I remember in my first summer job in the 1960s sneaking off to try to write humor columns like his. Thanks for keeping the flame alive. — PolitiTweet.org

@jarowley Sarge Shriver as the fill-in for Tom Eagleton also fits this profile. And in 1948, Harry Truman's first choice was Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. But in a larger sense, Susan Rice for VP would have made history. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dgrazian @terryshumaker Otherwise, Dole in 1996 would also be on the list. — PolitiTweet.org

@dgrazian @terryshumaker We were talking about VPs. — PolitiTweet.org

@heathbrown Lieberman actually was McCain's first pick, but he retreated when his advisers told him that there would be a mass walk out of anti-abortion crusaders. Problem is that campaigns are not always fully honest about runners up after the fact. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@charlesmurray @cceichhorn1 @newrepublic All true. But I am not sure you could have said that too loudly at, say, the 1984 convention either. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@SitNearMe GOP didn't control the House from 1954-1994. But won back the Senate in 1980. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@SitNearMe What about Eisenhower (1952 and 1956), Nixon (then a VP in 1960), Nixon (unemployed in 1968), Ford (never senator in 1976), Reagan (1980-84), Bush again (1988-1992), Bush II (only a governor 2004-2004), Romney (ex-governor in 2012) and, of course, Trump? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ronfromsandiego Really good point. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@formerlyed Bush in 1980 was the last GOP VP nominee who ran in the primaries. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@talkradio200 To avoid controversy, I counted Sarge Shriver as the fill-in VP in 1972. Also, Truman first offered the 1948 VP nomination to Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ProfDevine What makes it even odder is that there were proportionately more GOP senators than House members from 1954 to 1994. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@KeithELaughlin Technically, it was 1988 since Quayle was VP in 1992. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@context_need Kemp played the same role for Dole. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
It may simply be a quirk of a small sample, but Miller, Bush, Kemp, Ryan and Cheney had no state government experience. — PolitiTweet.org

@context_need Explain Jack Kemp in 1996 and Paul Ryan in 2012 who had long House voting records. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@TheMNWalrus But the GOP has nominated three House members as VP plus Cheney who was the ultimate creature of Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

@michaeldidier22 It’s August. — PolitiTweet.org

@what2watchlive As Casey Stengel said, “You can look it up.” — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jamesoliphant But the GOP has nominated three House members (Miller in 1964, Kemp in 1996 and Ryan in 2012). — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Could somebody offer a theory on why Democratic VP nominees are senators (only two exceptions since Henry Wallace) and GOP VPs rarely are (the last one was Quayle in 1988)? — PolitiTweet.org
