Thread: There are lots of lanes and categories you can put the 2020 candidates into. After watching the three-hour cattle call in Cedar Rapids last night, I believe one good way to do it is: ANGRY vs. SUNNY. https://t.co/eMsrU1yTCF — PolitiTweet.org

This weekend's Iowa poll showed seven candidates getting 1 percent support, and 9 candidates earned no support. Not one of the 600 poll respondents, for example, mentioned Bill de Blasio as either their first or second choice. These 16 candidates have their work cut out for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks here on Twitter live and breathe 2020, but Sunday's cattle call in Cedar Rapids showed how even the most devoted Dem activists in Iowa don't really know much about the bulks of the presidential candidates and their résumés. https://t.co/eMsrU1yTCF — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden’s opponents suggested that his moderation and cautiousness make him unelectable. But that argument didn’t seem to fire up, or even resonate with, the crowd in Cedar Rapids. https://t.co/eMsrU1Quud — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion has emerged as a top issue in the primaries. Almost every speaker in Iowa last night spoke to the importance of upholding Roe. Reproductive rights were mentioned as much as any other issue, including health care, climate change and gun control. https://t.co/eMsrU1yTCF — PolitiTweet.org

This race is fluid and wide open. Joe Biden, who skipped the event to attend his granddaughter’s high school graduation, has a vastly weaker claim to “front-runner” status than Hillary Clinton or Al Gore did at this point. https://t.co/eMsrU1yTCF — PolitiTweet.org

. @ericswalwell, in Cedar Rapids, gets quickly to abortion: “It’s my wife’s body. It’s a woman’s body. It’s her choice. I will only appoint judges that will uphold Roe. Let’s repeal the discriminatory Hyde amendment.” — PolitiTweet.org
