@CitizenSullivan @JillDLawrence Having seen Warren tell her personal story in town meeting settings in NH, Iowa and SC, I don't get the comparison to Dukakis. And I covered Dukakis as a candidate and ...well...I thought very highly of him as a person. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A gutsy column by the exemplary @JillDLawrence on Biden's worrisome limitations as a 2020 candidate. I don't agree with all of it, but it is in must-read territory: https://t.co/Xx36cZFgRV — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Bullock is right about the DNC debate rules: "We’re kidding ourselves if we’re calling a $10 million purchase of 130,000 donors a demonstration of grassroots support." https://t.co/monrmxEozq — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dougblandry Drop the donor requirement and if candidates are polling under 5 percent give preference based on prior service to the Democratic Party. Bullock, for example, headed the DGA. What have Yang or Steyer or Williamson done? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
JFK and Nelson Rockefeller didn’t troll for small donations. Of course, they also didn’t try to game things like the DNC’s cockamamie debate requirements. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This is a column I wrote for the @newrepublic right after the Detroit debate. And I still strongly believe that the 130,000 donor threshold remains one of the silliest debate requirements in history. https://t.co/OLXe0QCml3 — PolitiTweet.org

This was the panel where I showed off my operatic range and, for the first time, hit a high C. (For the Twitter Literalistic Brigade: The prior sentence was made up, but it was a great panel). And all three of us are willing to do an encore in Gstaad or Cannes or even Venice. — PolitiTweet.org

You're right, such Senate transfers don't count under the DNC donor requirement But such transfers help give a candidate like Gillibrand the resources to troll for small donors online. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Riccardi @NickRiccardi
@Ridderrick @mike_littwin @MrWalterShapiro I don’t believe donors to senate committees count toward the 130k threshold though.
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Ridderrick @mike_littwin Absolutely. Candidates like Gillibrand are living off her transfers from her 2018 Senate campaign. They also gave a big boost to Warren in the first quarter before her online fund-raising caught on. — PolitiTweet.org

@joe_nilo Spending $100,000-a-day on things like Facebook ads begging for donations or petition signatures that can be converted to small donations with many followup emails and texts. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to the DNC for setting up a cockamamie system where someone like Steyer can buy his way onto the debate stage but people like Bullock and Bennet can’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@NixonandIke My point was, actually, that no one in 2000 thought that Gore was insensitive to women's issues, so his flub on "mammogram" wasn't considered noteworthy. But this had much more to do with pre-existing theories about the candidates than pro-Democratic media bias. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
In 2000, I saw Al Gore at a nurses event in Las Vegas forget the name for "mammogram." Had George W Bush done that, it would have been a major example that Bush didn't care about women. But since it was Gore nobody ever mentioned it. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidRedlawsk Sorry. January 3rd just brought back too many memories of New Year's Eve in Des Moines. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidRedlawsk If the caucuses are indeed in January 3rd, then Castro has teleported himself back to 2008. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Whether it was Bernie Sanders in 2016, Ted Cruz in 2016, Rick Santorum in 2012, Barack Obama in 2008 or John Kerry in 2004, Iowa caucus polls six months out have been mostly off-base. And that's without 2020's untried "virtual caucuses." https://t.co/qiXD9EmcyO — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Trump is that popular. It's just that the dishonest pollsters refuse to tell the truth about his 89-percent approval rating. (For the terminally dense, I'm joking). https://t.co/pKXzqCYs6B — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@richgalen Agreed. Which is why I hate the arbitrary nature of the DNC rules. But also pundits should not hyperventilate over small movements in the Harris and Warren numbers. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Let me add that at this stage there are no reliable turnout models for Iowa, especially with the new virtual caucus. Strong argument for not being obsessed with any polls in early August. — PolitiTweet.org
Jonathan Martin @jmartNYT
Also there’s no national primary. Please poll IOWA, generous colleges.

@mollygordy @guardian There are no remedies that are fast, alas. With 400 million guns in circulation and the Second Amendment as defined by a conservative Supreme Court, there is a limit to how much legislation can do, even without GOP opposition. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
From my @Guardian piece on guns: "Teddy Roosevelt coined the phrase 'bully pulpit' to describe the moral authority of a president speaking from the White House. But unlike any other president, Trump has used his White House perch as a pulpit for bullies." https://t.co/mzxrNiOJyA — PolitiTweet.org
