Check out Rep. Spanberger’s expression as she realizes, “Yikes, my staff booked me with THAT Tim Miller. I like reading him in The Bulwark and listening to the podcasts and all that, but that’s in private. I’m going to be seen with him in public. At least the election’s over…” — PolitiTweet.org

“I do have some questions for our new Never Trump allies, which I ask purely in the spirit of comity. Was Donald Trump a successful president? Is Trump cognitively and characterologically fit for office? Did Joe Biden win a free and fair election in 2020?” https://t.co/pfkf97TNeh — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s been an exciting few days as many Republicans—who prior to 7pm on Nov. 8, 2022, had been very pro-Donald Trump—suddenly had the scales ripped from their eyes…It’s great to have them aboard…I do have some questions for our new Never Trump allies…” https://t.co/pfkf97TNeh — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: A conversation with @RonBrownstein. What happened Tuesday? Why did the 2022 midterm elections defy historical trends? What are some of the implications? Will Trump be challenged successfully for the Republican nomination? Will Biden run again? https://t.co/Y7oKlQLQUc — PolitiTweet.org

A 2x2 matrix! Leaving aside possible independent candidates, there are 4 possible 2024 presidential matchups: Biden v. Trump Biden v. someone other than Trump Trump v. someone other than Biden Someone other than Biden v. someone other than Trump Which do you think most likely? — PolitiTweet.org

Recorded a post-election conversation yesterday with @RonBrownstein that should be up at https://t.co/XE7uRAkpBN today. Lots of data about Nov. 2022, lots of speculation about implications for 2024. One bottom line up front: Not going to be so easy for Republicans to dump Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Lively panel discussion last night at Harvard. This was the 16th straight post-election session for @BillGalston and me--the first was in 1992--and we were joined, as host Harvey Mansfield quipped, by @RameshPonnuru, so there'd be a conservative on the panel. Or was it a quip? — PolitiTweet.org

"And this is the asymmetry which drives the GOP’s cycle of dysfunction: Trump can destroy the party whenever he wants, yet the party can’t destroy him without also risking its own crack-up." https://t.co/KdgVl3y6M6 — PolitiTweet.org

Final thought: Even if Trumpism were to recede, one would still have to come to grips with the complicity of the GOP in Trumpism, and the demonstrated susceptibility of the conservative movement to bigotry and authoritarianism. Which is why some of us are unlikely to go back. — PolitiTweet.org

Which sort of reinforces the judgment: Never Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

To what degree would defeating Trump cause the infection of the body politic by lying/extremism/etc. to recede? Or does the poison, once released, now have a momentum of its own? "No Trump, no Trumpism" seems too strong. But "No Trump, less severe Trumpism" seems plausible. — PolitiTweet.org
