... following a '16 that -- no matter how Ds remember it -- was close to a split decision. The party actually gained two Senate seats. And yet, after what can be fairly described as a very strong six-year cycle, Democrats would have, what, 50 seats? 51? — PolitiTweet.org

One thought rattling around in my head, about just how difficult winning Senate races has become for Democrats: If current political conditions hold (Biden wins comfortably + House Ds add to their majority), it'll have been back-to-back excellent election cycles for the party ... — PolitiTweet.org

@davecatanese Other convention thoughts: - Republican voices elevated over progressive - Democracy under threat - It's still the Obamas party - Clintons sunset - The RNC's degree of difficulty just went up https://t.co/7u263gWkFj — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

In a moment reflective of the whole convention's messaging, Biden's speech was a forceful attempt to reassure moderate voters they should back him over Trump, even if they have misgivings about a liberal agenda. From google-doc buddy @davecatanese and me https://t.co/7u263gWkFj — PolitiTweet.org
