@TheAtlantic Early in Trump's term, an anonymous staffer said something like, "Trump's not playing three-dimensional chess. Most of the time, we're just trying to stop him from eating the pieces." Biden's speech goaded Trump into swallowing at least a bishop. https://t.co/NSBHRFwkwN — PolitiTweet.org

@TheAtlantic Why did Biden give that speech in Philadelphia? Three reasons from the past week. Third, it goaded Trump into a public narcissistic meltdown unhelpful to a Republican party that wanted Trump out of the spotlight for November 2022.

@TheAtlantic Why did Biden give that speech in Philadelphia? Three reasons from the past week. Second - it helped him build the necessary coalition to stop the Trump faction in November 2022. Twitter thread from September 3. Start here: https://t.co/ChUjlawQh5 — PolitiTweet.org

But if Biden is to continue raising the tone, he needs to avert election results in 2022 that will empower Trump and his faction. And that means politics: Talking to voters about things they care about - and showing them the connection to the things they *should* care about. 16/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
And indeed, Biden is raising the tone in all kinds of ways. You noticed the "semi-fascist" comment because it was just about the first derogatory thing Biden has said all presidency about Trump and his faction. 15/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
Some people seem to take the view: Of course there's nothing much to be expected of Trump and Co. Trump would rant and rave more in 200 characters than Biden in 20 months in office. No point complaining about THAT, it cannot be helped. Biden, however, should raise the tone. 14/x — PolitiTweet.org

In 2022, it would be nice if every voter realized that honest elections and the rule of law matter most. But some worry more about their personal lives. Hence: join abortion and contraception to rule of law concerns. 13/x — PolitiTweet.org

It's not all pretty, any more than it was pretty in 1864. If human beings were made of different stuff, Salmon Chase would have said, "Mr. Lincoln, you are the man the country needs, I will have no part in any schemes against you." But he didn't. Hence: NY customs house. 12/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
In Philadelphia, Biden joined issues of direct and intimate concern - abortion, contraception, etc. - to more abstract issues of democracy that some voters might shrug off. That seems likewise to energize voters Biden and his party need. 11/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
In the past few days, Biden has acted to relieve student debt. I personally disapprove that measure. At another time, I'd oppose it vociferously. But it sure does seem to have energized a to-date listless youth vote. 10/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
The only sure way to stop Republican candidates from acting on those commitments is to deny them the power to act on those commitments. Which means beating them. Which means asking: what would Lincoln do in our case? 9/x — PolitiTweet.org

In 2022, most House and many Senate Republican candidates are committed to legal impunity for Donald Trump for January 6 and for the taking of sensitive documents to his Mar a Lago club. 8/x — PolitiTweet.org
