If this sounds familiar, it's because Huntsman has done something like this before! (It was actually one of my first scoops as a political reporter.) https://t.co/8IdqiZetPp https://t.co/4fZXntQhKl — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Huntsman, who has served as ambassador to Russia since 2017, is expected to leave his job by the end of the year and is seriously considering a run for governor of Utah, according to four sources familiar with the situation. My story: https://t.co/8IdqiZetPp — PolitiTweet.org

@HeerJeet I generally think that’s true (though I realize it’s a subject of intense debate in the right!) My question is this: Would either side willingly swap places with the other if they could? Would liberals/leftists give trade cultural power for political power? — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

A mainstay of current political discourse: the left pointing to the right’s political power, the right pointing to the left’s cultural power, both implying other side’s position is more enviable. https://t.co/AVzliNw2KI — PolitiTweet.org

I may have missed some responses—there are so many!—but I'm curious: How have the key participants/stakeholders in this debate responded to @DouthatNYT's framing of it? https://t.co/tUD85AfIIu — PolitiTweet.org
