Somehow after watching the footage from Trump in Greenville last night, I woke up with an urge to post this on Twitter: https://t.co/ZvJCCdGnOc — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffSmithMO Curious: Exactly how small is Messam-world. Smaller than the tiniest asteroid? — PolitiTweet.org

@dkahanerules @SykesCharlie I think Mary Beard tells it slightly differently. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@JillDLawrence But it is pretty frustrating. My desktop Twitter disappeared yesterday and my life hasn't been the same. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClydeHaberman @katekilla I guess that scansion thing is why he's president and I'm not. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@ClydeHaberman @katekilla Maybe just a simple "Quarter her." — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@ClydeHaberman @katekilla I'm trying to decide whether "draw and quarter her" has the right scansion for a Trump rally. — PolitiTweet.org

@thepubprobably Forgive me, world, in my excitement, I misread a CNN press release. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

With just 20 minutes until CNN begins their aggressively promoted debate drawing, I haven't been this filled with a… https://t.co/kaHGuO5Jdj — PolitiTweet.org

@Ed_Realist @daveweigel @alexburnsNYT I'm not sure that explains why we have Democratic House members from the Oklahoma City suburbs and the South Carolina coast. But my larger point is that there has been absolutely no evidence that Trump's post-2016 approach to politics is working. — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel @alexburnsNYT Such a political genius that he gave House Republicans a landslide victory in 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

@HelenKennedy @joelmsiegel More like Blah-mention. — PolitiTweet.org

@JonathanBohan @NormOrnstein @sabr Yes, he was 12. — PolitiTweet.org

There are many reasons to mourn the passing of Justice Stevens. But, sadly, he may have been the last living person who saw Babe Ruth "call his shot" in the 1932 World Series. https://t.co/EIapd6Gwvm — PolitiTweet.org

"Socialism" is no longer enough for the GOP. I just got a series of near-identical emails from the NRCC with the word "deranged" in the subject line as in "Spanberger is deranged." My guess is that "asshole" is probably next. — PolitiTweet.org

@stuloeser @KennethBaer Well, I chuckle automatically when reading anything about de Blasio. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@KennethBaer That one got an audible laugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@RonBrownstein We’re in total agreement on this. I remain baffled by those (especially after the GOP’s suburban wipeout in 2018) who believe there is method to the madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

If money mattered to you, as it does to most small donors, would you give a penny to de Blasio? — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@RonBrownstein Worth remembering that the last three presidents with unemployment at 4% (Nixon in 1969 with Vietnam; Clinton in late 2000; and Bush before 9/11) had approval ratings in the low 60s. Trump, that stable political genius, is more than 15% lower than those three. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@FHQ I also count leaners as potentially volatile primary voters so as many as 84% of NH Democrats may be in play. And that’s before the results from Iowa in February shake things up further. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Most important thing in new CNN NH poll: 64% of Democratic voters are "still trying to decide." And another 20% are shaky in their leanings. But too much poll coverage implies a level of fake certainty that doesn't exist in July. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

I had been searching for a way to drastically curtail my Twitter usage. Luckily, Twitter itself provided it with an ugly new desktop version that seems to exaggerate its bogus "Trends" and make other features hard to use. And, yes, I have jiggled with the settings. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@mirandayaver @NormOrnstein @RudyGiuliani You can imagine how I feel as a NYC voter. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

@soledadobrien @NormOrnstein @MittRomney I'm with you in my bafflement. Especially since Utah (Mitt's new state) is the epicenter of never-Trump Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

But while it's only $50,000, it must represent an outpouring of grassroots donors. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @daveweigel: Messam has talked his way into some cattle calls but there’s no evidence that he’s running a campaign. He’s even recycling… — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump disliked America under Obama so much, why is he still here? — PolitiTweet.org
