@JRBoh @theblatt @CookeWJ1 @hookjan @DavidLauter @JoeBiden @evanhalper Thank you. It would have perplexed me all day long. — PolitiTweet.org

@lbenenson Ignoring American Twitter alone should be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

@CookeWJ1 @hookjan @DavidLauter @JoeBiden @evanhalper Damn, damn, damn. I should have realized that this was a Democrats huddle. — PolitiTweet.org

@hookjan @DavidLauter @JoeBiden @evanhalper I guess John Pastore and Hiram Fong. I can't get the others. — PolitiTweet.org

@EspositoWriter @BeschlossDC So did I. James Earl Jones was a wonderful Truman. And it is always a thrill to see Angela Lansbury on Broadway. — PolitiTweet.org

@KennethBaer Where is Eleanor Roosevelt when you need her? — PolitiTweet.org

@KennethBaer In many ways, Bernie is Henry Wallace in 1948, right down to the honeymoon in the Soviet Union. The difference, of course, is that Wallace never sought the Democratic presidential nomination. But, hell, historical comparisons can't be perfect. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@KennethBaer That would work. But as shrill as Bernie is, he is nowhere the pariah that Wallace was and nowhere the protest candidate that Jackson was. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I can't recall a protest candidate who had the total uncritical loyalty of 15-20 percent of his party, but no opportunity to grow. Closest analogue actually was Jesse Jackson in 1988, — PolitiTweet.org
Nate Silver @NateSilver538
There have been some candidates like this I suppose, but they're protest candidates who aren't really running to win.

@leonblum I'm honored. You too can be invited to the 50th anniversary fund-raiser in 2022. And, yes, I lost to Marv Stempien, who had drawn the district the prior year to his specifications. He didn't imagine the cleavage between Livonia and Ann Arbor. — PolitiTweet.org

@BeschlossDC I saw the original version of the play with Melvyn Douglas, which actually opened in 1960 before the convention. Gore Vidal vividly imagined a feckless Stevenson and a manipulative Truman. — PolitiTweet.org

Can't figure out if this was before or after JFK got the nomination by a whisker on the first ballot. My guess is that it was before as a gesture of unity. — PolitiTweet.org

@Profepps The event schedule at Mara Lago seems positively naked now that the stripper event has been taken off. — PolitiTweet.org

You mean that it's been stripped from the schedule. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: A strip-club golf tournament planned at President @realdonaldtrump’s Doral resort has now been cancelled. https://t.co/tNHMZKQ38D

To give a flavor of the complexity that surrounded the debate over busing in the 1970s, I resurrected my own congressional campaign in Michigan in 1972 -- the same year that Joe Biden ran for the Senate. https://t.co/WgNBB9xZLa — PolitiTweet.org

@LOLGOP I would have said "yes" just to get you off the line. — PolitiTweet.org

While the issue is small -- and it isn't my neighborhood -- this may be the most chilling example of the arrogance of the super-rich that I have read for a while. — PolitiTweet.org

My story from my 1972 House campaign: "I was a non-parent and a non-homeowner, living in a liberal enclave (Ann Arbor) an hour west of Detroit, preaching integration to non-affluent white parents whose children were about to be bused into Detroit." https://t.co/WgNBB9xZLa — PolitiTweet.org

@SimpleManRadio It has gotten so bad that I'm boycotting the All-Star game. I will check in on Thursday night when real games resume. — PolitiTweet.org

I interviewed Ross Perot in his Fort Worth office for a Time magazine cover in the spring of 1972. My reaction after one hour: He’s impressive. After two hours: He’s long-winded. After three hours: Help, get me out of here. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Totally agree with your November 1992 analysis. But the dramatic way that Perot initially abandoned his 3rd party bid during the 1992 Democratic Convention gave Clinton a major boost when he desperately needed it. That was the true Perot Factor in 1992. — PolitiTweet.org
Larry Sabato @LarrySabato
People still argue about whether Perot threw the election to Bill Clinton in 1992. No question Perot disliked GHW B… https://t.co/RBWv7nhjau

Among the impressive, but failed, candidates for DNC chair in 2017 were Pete Buttigieg and Jaime Harrison. Now Buttigieg is running for president and Harrison is trying to pull off an even tougher trick -- beating Lindsey Graham. My report from SC: https://t.co/nbg7FZyolN — PolitiTweet.org

A very strong @JillDLawrence column rejecting conciliation with the Republicans: "We need a nominee who understands, as today's Republicans seem to know from birth, that paeans to bipartisanship won't cut it. Not after the decade we've had." https://t.co/kFs23QqCT6 — PolitiTweet.org
