Also from Q poll: Republicans by 69% – 23% want Trump to run in 2024 (down from 78% – 16% in Oct.). So a quarter of Republicans are hostile to or skeptical of Trump. But most GOP candidates will have to sound pro-Trump. That creates opportunities for Dems. https://t.co/5KcopJQFeD — PolitiTweet.org

New Q poll. YIKES: Biden at 33% (!) - 53% job approval. BUT: Generic congressional ballot is 43%R - 42%D. SO: Dems need to TRY to make 2022 a choice not referendum. And can pressure Rs on Nov. 3/Jan. 6: 57-34 not voter fraud 61-33 for Jan. 6 investigation. https://t.co/5KcopJQFeD — PolitiTweet.org

“This is a marker of how important anti-vaxxers have become to the Republican party. A political party’s constituencies determine what it may, or may not, do.” Very interesting discussion from @JVLast. — PolitiTweet.org

“The takeaway is that this misleading trope designed to diminish both the realities of COVID and the effectiveness of vaccines was being pushed not by crazy randos, but by the institutional Republican party and elected Republican officeholders.” https://t.co/f7wIpKRQnV — PolitiTweet.org

For Democrats to have a shot in 2022, they need to: 1. Stay out of woke traps (https://t.co/8tfJWKTtDC). 2. Be responsibly populist (e.g., ban stock trades for members of Congress). 3. Vividly expose today's GOP for what it is. 4. Exploit Trump (https://t.co/jJndWCK8gC). — PolitiTweet.org

"I watched a couple of politicians be interviewed and...the answer is ‘yes’ but they don’t want to say it. Because they’re gutless." 👍👍 All Republicans should be asked if they're vaxxed and boosted--and if they duck, should be asked if they're gutless. https://t.co/CkmC4YHo9X — PolitiTweet.org

Trump cutting short the NPR interview after nine minutes when asked about Jan. 6 is suggestive of the problems his pro-Jan. 6 stance, and the Big Lie generally, pose for the GOP in 2022. Democrats just need to be as focused and aggressive as NPR! See: https://t.co/jJndWCK8gC — PolitiTweet.org

It'd be politically nuts for the Democrats not to pass legislation banning members from trading stocks. If Pelosi still resists, frontline members should consider a discharge petition. A public fight with their own party leadership on this wouldn't hurt. https://t.co/RRsMME5HJs — PolitiTweet.org

“He felt the equal-state vote was as far as one should go to protect minority interests. To add further rules that would make it even more difficult for the Senate to reach majoritarian decisions—that was the opposite of what he had in mind back in 1787.” https://t.co/QEXxhwn7bH — PolitiTweet.org

“When this was debated at the constitutional convention, Madison explain[ed] why, as much as he believed that the rights of minorities had to be respected, he didn’t want them to be able to block majoritarian decisions that had been properly debated.” https://t.co/QEXxhwn7bH — PolitiTweet.org
