Wasn’t it this @POTUS who praised China as his friend, President Xi, for their virus response in January? — PolitiTweet.org

Just to name a few states at random. — PolitiTweet.org

Got to be killing him, though. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JaneMayerNYer: "The more...violence reigns, the better it is" for Trump, says Kellyanne Conway. Wow. Devastating admission. — PolitiTweet.org

Last words from Team Trump before the @POTUS went out to speak: “Please, sir, NO AD-LIBBING. Just stick to the script.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rules notwithstanding, @realDonaldTrump has taken full advantage of the WH as a set for his political production. And in doing it, he is giving his speech to a crowd, which he craves. — PolitiTweet.org

There was something a little discordant about @IvankaTrump’s sober acknowledgement of the COVID-19 crisis, as she looked out at a large, tightly-bunched, maskless crowd. — PolitiTweet.org

Anybody mention Russia in this entire convention? — PolitiTweet.org

“Mr. President, make our country safe again!” Head scratcher. If Rudy thinks America is unsafe, why does he believe Trump would do a better job in the NEXT four? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Is Rudy still under federal investigation? — PolitiTweet.org

Campaigns turn on the things you plan on but often the things you can’t. @realDonaldTrump’s RNC mission has been to shift the focus from COVID and 10% unemployment to “law and order.” To be blunt, the timing of unrest in Kenosha has been a gift to him in that project. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Pretty extraordinary and revealing statement. I wonder, when they festoon the stage with flags tonight, they will include only the stars representing Republican-led states to signify how this president views the country and his responsibilities. — PolitiTweet.org

The absence of masks at the RNC events are part of calculated effort to suggest the siege is over. That’s a fantasy. — PolitiTweet.org

Boy, if I were Jared Kushner, I wouldn’t go one-on-one w/@KingJames, especially since Jared had his facts wrong about the public school LeBron launched in his hometown of Akron! — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, I asked @WhipClyburn, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress, about the egregious Jacob Blake shooting and its aftermath. Below he offers an admonition to those who responded with violence: “Don’t play their game.” Pod here👉https://t.co/dy0RMOCj0x https://t.co/iZqC4lvRPL — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But people should have no illusion. For the base of the Republican Party, the @VP did a good job tonight. Fact checkers will have a field day with both his positive and negative thrusts. But he was playing from the base song sheet and I bet a bunch of them were singing along. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“One side is about gratitude and the other side is about grievance,” my @CNN colleague David Urban, a Trump supporter, just said. Is there any politician in American history who has played grievance politics as consistently or enthusiastically as @realDonaldTrump? — PolitiTweet.org

“In times of trouble,” the Pence intro film intoned. But the images were not of ICU’s teaming with COVID patients or shuttered small businesses. It was scenes of violent protests. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So many of the speakers these last few nights have asserted that in America, anyone can be whatever they want to be and go wherever their God-given talents can take them. That is the American ideal. It’s not the reality. We should acknowledge that gap and ask how we close it. — PolitiTweet.org

This must be staff night. — PolitiTweet.org

.@PressSec’s personal story was moving but to use it to leap to an assertion that the @POTUS is fighting to protect people with pre-existing conditions was unworthy of it. He’s actively trying to reverse the law that protects people with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org
