We were working on this for a bit and the great @jmartNYT beat us to it. (Our story has more data, unsurprisingly.) I highly recommend his take on this topic as well. https://t.co/3qsSJWb2CT — PolitiTweet.org

The criticisms of Trump from other Republicans are often ineffectual. But I think his backing down here is in part because some in the GOP joined everyone else in slamming this idea. As @MattGlassman312 says, in politics, words (or speeches/press releases) are a form of action. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump and his allies are essentially purging his critics from key conservative institutions (Fox News, the House Republican Conference.) So when you are looking for conservative opposition to Trump, you have to look outside of those spaces. https://t.co/hky9Y74c3O — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes candidate-focused explanations (candidate x made mistake z) are incomplete. Cruz and Rubio ran the young, non-white conservative campaign in 2016 decently well. GOP voters wanted something else.We tried to examine if something like that is happening this year with Dems. — PolitiTweet.org
