The way I read this statement is that Pence has totally retreated from the more ludicrous Trump reading of the word "defund" as in "abolish the police." What Pence is saying is Biden might want to cut police funding by a bit. That isn't exactly Armageddon. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay, it's been a fascinating social science experiment testing weird aspects of political sentiment like the debates over masks. And it has taught me to better appreciate small things like dinner with friends and trips to restaurants. But I get the point. So call off Covid-19. — PolitiTweet.org

When I read the outrageous stories from Portland, I had to look up to find out who Chad Wolf is. And I thought I did this kind of stuff for a living. I hope and pray that Washington remembers Wolf's conduct when he returns to lobbying after the election. — PolitiTweet.org

@pattmlatimes I love the four-walls line. And the Ninotchka quote remains my favorite for explaining the irrationality of ideological purges in a democracy where the goal is getting a majority on Election Day. This is something that the Democratic Party's leftwing has also forgotten at times. — PolitiTweet.org

In the great comedy "Ninotchka," Greta Garbo playing a Soviet commissar said about Stalin's purges, "We are creating fewer but better Russians." The Republicans seem to believe that fewer but better Trump supporters somehow helps win elections. — PolitiTweet.org

What is Trump going to do about Texas? They just allowed schools to stay closed until November. Is Trump going to sue Greg Abbott or have DHS just pick him up in a camouflaged vehicle? https://t.co/WAJfJJMV4G — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for this clip. It made me nostalgic for the days when conventions had surprises and news value. And it also conjured up the glory days of breoadcast network convention coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Very smart: "It’s unclear what the shake-up of campaign staff will achieve given that Trump often acts on his instincts and has shown little interest in taking the steps political strategists say would help him win over undecided voters." https://t.co/07aLb9Lac7 — PolitiTweet.org

Only good news for Biden is that the Twitter hack was in July and not October. And it was for Bitcoin rather than promoting diabolical rumors. — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesabloom Still, I shouldn't have jumped so quickly. Also, I now see from my responses on Twitter that Hillary had a similar lead in the summer of 2016. The difference from 1988 and 2016, of course, is that there was no incumbent on the ballot so voter preferences were more volatile. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenatorZero Yikes. I had already found an August 1988 poll giving Dukakis a 17-point lead. Serves me right for guessing rather than checking. Both 1988 and 2016 were non-incumbent elections so that the electorate was more volatile since they didn't have rigid opinions about an incumbent. — PolitiTweet.org

I would guess in 1984. But maybe Dukakis had a bad poll or two in October 1988. — PolitiTweet.org

Puzzling international development: I scanned the front page of the websites of both the UK edition of the Guardian and Le Monde in Paris. And I was shocked to discovered that there weren't any Bari Weiss articles. It is so mind-boggling that I assume I have somehow missed them. — PolitiTweet.org

@RachelBitecofer @NYGovCuomo As someone who lived through it all in New York City, I totally agree about Cuomo, whom I have never liked. Until now. One other thing — Cuomo had to also cope with a stubborn, dithering hostile mayor of New York in the form of would-be President de Blasio. — PolitiTweet.org
