The embrace of demagoguery and authoritarianism by Trump Republicans has been awful. The rationalization by the Republican and conservative establishments has made it all far, far, more dangerous. But the acquiescence of the Good Republicans also does its share of harm. — PolitiTweet.org

The DCCC should not have helped Peter Meijer's election-denying, conspiracy-promoting, insurrection-defending opponent in the GOP primary. But Meijer should not now be supporting that election-denying, conspiracy-promoting, insurrection-defending nominee in the general election. — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump corrupted our democracy because people let him. Senate Republicans were complicit. They absolved him twice knowing everything. And now that the public is finding everything out, they say nothing. Long after Trump is gone, their legacy will remain." https://t.co/tWMOj2Z9H6 — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Because months later, after all of the cowardice with their impeachment votes, Senate Republicans had a chance to redeem themselves. Instead they blocked the creation of a 9/11-style, independent commission to investigate the insurrection." https://t.co/tWMOj2Z9H6 — PolitiTweet.org

"But they had secrets to keep until the Senate runoffs in Georgia January 5...To slightly invert Churchill, Mitch McConnell was given the choice of defeat or dishonor. He chose dishonor. And then he got defeat in the bargain, anyway." https://t.co/tWMOj2Z9H6 — PolitiTweet.org

"How much of this did Senate Republicans know when they voted to acquit Trump in his second impeachment on February 13, 2021? Probably most of it. Maybe even all of it. And what have they rushed to condemn since this all became public? None of it." https://t.co/tWMOj2Z9H6 — PolitiTweet.org

It's assumed Liz is going to lose, and that we have to resign ourselves to an anti-democratic and anti-truth Republican Party. But Wyoming has a chance to make history on August 16 by stepping up and saying Yes to the Constitution, No to the lies, and renominating Liz Cheney. — PolitiTweet.org

Some hard truths from @JVLast. A must read. To put his point differently: Some good Republicans have been mugged by the reality of Trumpism--but they don't want to press charges. Liz Cheney, whether she wins or loses now, grasps the need to press charges. https://t.co/9vAKYsgsa9 — PolitiTweet.org

"Raising Gibbs’s name ID probably did help the guy. But the problem isn’t that Democrats tricked Republican voters into choosing John Gibbs. The problem is that Republican voters want John Gibbs. And Peter Meijer can’t bring himself to say that." https://t.co/9vAKYsgsa9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"He voted to impeach Donald Trump...That’s not nothing. In fact, it’s a really big something. Good for him. On the other hand, Meijer has spent the last year-plus running away from impeachment...He did not make his affirmative case for impeachment." https://t.co/9vAKYsgsa9 — PolitiTweet.org

"TIM MILLER: Around 11ET I had drafted a sunny little ditty...The Biden agenda and the Trump impeachers were alive while Al-Zawahiri and Kari Lake were dead. Alas, as the night wore on it was revealed that the sanity was a merely an early vote mirage." https://t.co/3nc7COzxmP — PolitiTweet.org

6. In sum: KS suggests there could be significant numbers of independent and Rerpublican swing voters in November motivated by the abortion debate. They could be put off, of course, by Democratic extremism on this issue, or other issues could overwhelm this one. Still... — PolitiTweet.org

5. ...that could be the difference in close races in states like AZ, GA, & NC. (And that's to say nothing of the aforementioned non-partisan independents who might turn out.) By the way, is FL more pro-life than KS? I doubt it. Yet isn't Rubio for federal pro-life legislation? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

4. Perhaps more striking, our rough math suggests there were ~75k R primary voters who voted NO in the referendum. That's over 15% of the R electorate. That suggests a lot of potential Republican swing voters for November. If, say, 1/3 of them swing to a D based on abortion... — PolitiTweet.org

3. ...a pretty substantial pool of not-too-partisan independent votes who are mostly pro-choice, that could exist in other states as well. Can they be motivated to turn out for a pro-choice (presumably Democratic) candidate in November? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

2. ...assume everyone who voted in the D primary voted NO on the referendum. There are then an additional ~260k non-Democratic NO votes. Now many of those come from the ~185K voters who voted in the referendum but in neither primary. Looking ahead to November, that suggests... — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Republican Voters against Alito"? A short 🧵 As of the count right now, ~450k votes were cast in the KS Republican gubernatorial primary, and ~275k votes in the Democratic primary. The NO-YES breakdown on the abortion referendum is ~535k to ~375k. So for simplicity's sake... — PolitiTweet.org
