The Trumpiest part of the Republican Party is not in D.C. Our look at how local and state GOP officials in particular are the ones pushing the party's direction and preventing any break from Trump and Trumpism. https://t.co/56P6YyHZhd — PolitiTweet.org

In the Democratic primary last year, "the party decided" ---party elites pointed voters toward Biden over Sanders. Over the last few weeks, in the GOP, the party decided but in reverse--the base basically ordered the party elites to stick with Trump. https://t.co/1gf9eTzgOx https://t.co/yAhE931ERP — PolitiTweet.org

Wrote this before the Dems backed down on witnesses but still think it's broadly true ---Jan 6 is likely to result in a Democratic Party that is more confrontational with the GOP on a lot of fronts. I think we have seen signs of that new posture already. https://t.co/j8E4i9I5jT https://t.co/CHjQsLvvks — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham's shift from the Graham of six years ago continues. His post-election attempts to browbeat the Georgia Secretary of State were very problematic. Today, he essentially announced the GOP will impeach VP Harris on whatever pretext they can if they win the House. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to justify coverage of McConnell as the leader of the Republicans in any real way after the last six weeks, when he called for the party to break from Trump and the party ignored him. https://t.co/9uPAST5RHC — PolitiTweet.org

Charges against Trump will be cast in a partisan light. And Republican prosecutors will start looking for a prominent Democrat they can charge with crimes too. The political system probably needed to resolve Jan 6 to wrestle it from partisan politics--but the system did not. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has implemented 12 of 77 policies that the @TheProspect had suggested pre-election that he can do through executive action. So an interesting case that he might not be taking enough executive actions, from @ddayen. https://t.co/wsup0mJols — PolitiTweet.org
