@CharlesPPierce @paulgoldberger Wrong about the merits of the wildcard and baseball becoming like football? Or wrong about Bush's position? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
That said, as a former president, Bush would have the clout to actually get the owners to behave rationally. And he knows his baseball, having discussed the 1954 Giants with him in an interview long, long ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Bush put up 0.6% of the team's purchase price and only did that because Karl Rove told him that he felt he needed s… https://t.co/0PdRLpACZI
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@R_Ephemeral Because Bush cares about the game and his reputation more than he cares about other people's money. Also, Bush is the one figure who would have the clout to get the owners to behave rationally and also negotiate a new contract at the end of 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@paulgoldberger Bush was also the lone owner (I'm doing this from memory) who opposed expanding the playoffs to include wildcard teams. Having once interviewed Bush on baseball, I know he reveres the game and its traditions. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A serious proposal: Both the owners and the players should ask George W. Bush to take over as interim baseball commissioner. Whatever you think of his presidency, he was a great owner of the Rangers and supported Fay Vincent when the other owners ousted him. — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, the wisest commentator on Supreme Court decisions is Finley Peter Dunne's fictional Mr. Dooley, who declared more than a century ago, “Th’ Supreme Coort follows th’ election returns.” — PolitiTweet.org

If Bolton is, as Trump says, "a disgruntled boring fool," which may well be true, it still doesn't explain why Trump appointed him as national security adviser. You can't blame this one on Biden or Obama or Hillary's emails or Nancy Pelosi or even the Deep State. — PolitiTweet.org

An important reminder that there are flaws in Covid-19 data, even in states where the governor is not practicing the politics of denial. Washington State over-counted negative tests and thereby reduced its positive test rate. https://t.co/iU509t99ra — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMadden Don't forget the expanded playoffs so that more teams will get into the post-season than don't. Then when when it extends to 2021 and afterwards, it will make the 162-game season virtually irrelevant and undermine the traditions of the game. Sole reason: TV money. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
The welcome death of euphemisms like "racially charged." @maggieNYT and @anniekarni write about Trump, "His penchant for using racist language — such as the tweet about shooting looters — is something that has long defined and undercut his presidency." https://t.co/SdEal3dOuP — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Somehow, whatever anecdote you pick, I have a deep suspicion that the GOP senator will not have read it or heard anything about it, so he or she can't comment. It's funny about things like that. Maybe, just maybe, you can spot a Susan Collins furrowed brow. — PolitiTweet.org
Igor Bobic @igorbobic
Trying to decide what specific batshit anecdote from Bolton’s book to ask a GOP lawmaker is impossible
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
It's not impeachable, alas. But Trump actually said to Xi in December 2018, according to Bolton, the fastidious notetaker, "Trump replied that people were saying that the two-term constitutional limit on presidents should be repealed for him." https://t.co/loGLRxttA0 — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman Once again, I get to play second banana to a master. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
From Bolton in the WSJ: "But the real question is what Trump does about China’s threat. His advisers are badly fractured intellectually." In truth, with Trump's advisers, there often is not enough intellect to fracture. https://t.co/loGLRxttA0 — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Why I'll never read the Bolton memoir: "The book is bloated with self-importance, even though what it mostly recounts is Bolton not being able to accomplish very much. It toggles between two discordant registers: exceedingly tedious and slightly unhinged." https://t.co/SqxipgoNak — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In other words, you have to work to miss the playoffs. Why not make it 28 teams and just skip the Orioles and the Tigers? We are witnessing the death of the regular season since this will end up being permanent. — PolitiTweet.org
Bob Nightengale @BNightengale
The MLB playoffs would expand from 10 teams to 16 teams under the new proposal.
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@marybschneider I have been asking this same question since Jan. 20, 2017. Trump is as ghastly as I expected. But what has shocked me is the degree to which the GOP has been his eager enablers. I bet a lot of senators envy Mitt Romney for his ability to face himself in the mirror each morning. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
From Bolton book: "Trump said invading Venezuela would be 'cool' and that the South American nation was 'really part of the United States.'” If Venezuela is part of the US, Stephen Miller should know that we have just given passports to 30 million Latinos. https://t.co/rAn7KveCdm — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol @JamesFallows @froomkin My theory has been that Trump is under the mistaken impression that the Soviet Union won the Winter War against Finland in 1939. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JamesFallows @froomkin As arrogantly ill-informed as I think Trump is, I think Britain has declined enough as a world power to make everyone forget that the UK has nuclear weapons. I also remember "Beyond the Fringe" in the 1960s suggesting that the British delivery system was brave men on bicycles. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Before we celebrate, please realize that expanded playoffs (the Holy Grail for TV money) will be a permanent feature of baseball in the future -- and it will make a joke out of the regular season. If everybody is a playoff team, why play 162 games? — PolitiTweet.org

What negative thinking. There now is an AIDS vaccine because President Trump says there is. That's how medicine works. Trump should know because he had an uncle who taught at MIT. And genius is hereditary in the Trump family as his sons illustrate. — PolitiTweet.org

From my new Roll Call column about this moment in history: "Based on current polls, Trump seems more the dying gasp of the old country club America than the avatar of a new ethos built around economic nationalism and do-it-my-way authoritarianism." https://t.co/sqQBakgFkL — PolitiTweet.org
