@alexheard I realize we are not taking about the Gulag or a North Korean re-education camp or a significant drop in income. But somehow the phrasing and the over-reaction made me long for the era of "teachable moments." — PolitiTweet.org

I have never watched "The View." But the phrase, "I've asked her to take time to reflect and learn" makes me cringe. — PolitiTweet.org

@thegarance @Hammbear I have to invite you to the big post-election fund-raiser and dinner dance. Seriously, I was hired by Charlie Peters at the Washington Monthly after doing a piece on my primary campaign in which I almost beat the floor leader of the state house. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hammbear @thegarance Hundreds of years ago as a history grad student, I ran for Congress from Michigan. Proving the point: After I lost, I immediately moved to DC as a journalist. — PolitiTweet.org

Example: There are plenty of congressional districts (including majority white ones like Nadler’s) where the Democrats routinely get 85-90 percent of the vote. I doubt there are many GOP districts that are more than 75 percent Republican. — PolitiTweet.org

All I can think about is California Senator Clair Engle being wheeled into the Senate on a gurney to vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. Engle couldn't speak so he pointed to his eye to signal "Aye." https://t.co/FViysI36ww. — PolitiTweet.org

@EBOlady @npfandos @SalAlbaneseNYC @RobGeorge @errollouis Don't have a precise date. But Maloney's current district (NY-12) includes Astoria, Queens, and Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which are places that do not inspire the shout, "They're so rich, they wear silk stockings." — PolitiTweet.org

My @rollcall column on record 2022 campaign spending: "Candidates and donors alike should ask themselves a simple question: 'How much is enough?' At what level of spending does an extra dollar fail to have any effect on vote totals?" https://t.co/8dHFSgBLAx — PolitiTweet.org

Do you see a resemblance to GOP under Trump? "Several Tory MPs opposed to the prime minister’s continued leadership said they were witnessing 'death by 1,000 cuts' and questioned why more of their colleagues were not submitting letters of no confidence." https://t.co/iDzUuUdM1y — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, Rudy gets to be a moderate among the crazies: "Mr. Giuliani was vehemently opposed to the idea of the military taking part in the seizure of machines, according to two people familiar with the matter." I didn't know Rudy drew a line somewhere. https://t.co/GmKS9vNdc1 — PolitiTweet.org

@suellentrop @maggieNYT I did cover Woodrow Wilson as a cub reporter. But it was the 1916 re-elect. I lost a bundle betting on Hughes. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@maggieNYT Agree. But the last time a former president ran again was, I believe, 1912. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@EricGForster1 @maggieNYT Wasn't minor at all. Bradley matched Gore in fund-raising and came within 6,000 votes of beating him in NH. Bradley was destroyed by the rise of McCain as a campaign reformer and a weird 5-week gap between NH and the next primaries on the Democratic side. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@maggieNYT You may be right. But Hillary Clinton had 100 percent name ID and an ample political bank account in 2016, but long-shot Bernie Sanders came relatively close to beating her. No one has been handed a presidential nomination without a fight since Nixon in 1960. — PolitiTweet.org

@joelmsiegel @Bencjacobs “Acting” is carrying a hell of a lot of weight in your construct. I guess I can reframe it as “no one ELECTED mayor since the 19th century…” That said, I didn’t know a thing about Kline. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @EUnneland Thank you for rescuing me from myself. Normally, I include that post-1898 technicality. But I omitted it tonight and I will never make that mistake again. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@LoveEndsHate @Bencjacobs The technicality is that New York was not a modern city back then. This only refers to after the unification with Brooklyn in 1898. Normally, I write "not since the 19th century" but I forgot to add that qualifier tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

@Margoandhow Biden had promised a woman as VP before, though he repeated it in the SC debate. The Supreme Court pledge was entirely new. — PolitiTweet.org

@esstheman The Biden pledge was made in a debate a few days before the SC primary. A week later, Biden was the de facto nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

How many days (or, yikes, months) until pitchers and catchers report for spring training? How I hope the protracted lockout doesn’t kill all the wonderfully predictable stories about players being “in the best shape of their lives.” — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Please explain to me why Biden’s promise to fill his first Supreme Court vacancy with a Black woman is causing conniptions on the right at this moment but was a minor motif in the 2020 campaign. Did Republicans really believe that Breyer would never retire? — PolitiTweet.org
