The Dem Convention was VERY well done & Joe Biden's speech was pitch perfect. My only critique (which is the same I had in '16) is that we need to emphasize encouraging entrepreneurship & economic growth. Jobs are not magicallly created, we need entrepreneurs to start companies — PolitiTweet.org

Poor people have been hardest hit by both the public health crisis & by the economic impact of lockdowns Poor kids have been the hardest hit by school closures. Poor countries may also be the last to get the vaccine. Poverty is the central challenge https://t.co/v8FawLW8fW — PolitiTweet.org

Things will change: How (and where) people live and work; Massive disruption of traditional retail business model; Massive acceleration of on-line learning & tele-medicine; Less demand for hotels & offices; and Government mandating more US manufacturing. https://t.co/6xD2ZLvnR6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senate intel report is an important national security matter but shouldn't be the focus of Dem campaigns. Russia/Meuller didn't hurt Trump politically. What has hurt him is Covid. Why? Because it impacts the health and jobs of Americans. That's what most people care about — PolitiTweet.org

When Clinton won in '92 the Dem party was different than it was in '62 & it will be different in '22. Why is that a surprise to some people We can embrace changes to the party & new challenges while acknowledging that Clinton's economic policies worked for workers & families — PolitiTweet.org

There was a time - after three straight presidential losses - that people were not sure the Democratic Party would win the WH again for a very long time. Bill Clinton changed that dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Current situation: pandemic; record high unemployment, small business failures, deficits, debt; low income kids falling behind b/c of closed schools; Russia/China interfering in our elections & POTUS attacking USPS, etc Arguing about who speaks at the convention is a distraction — PolitiTweet.org

He's wrong. Springsteen's 'The Rising' is a moving and important song that perfectly captures the moment. And Springsteen - and the unforgettable characters in his songs - are the right messengers. https://t.co/GLopHHOW6O — PolitiTweet.org

@DejongeTyson Honor is not about your views on the operations of post office! Honor is about being true to what you believe is right. Honor is about keeping your word to your family, your friends and people you are charged to take care of. Honor is about doing the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution, the supreme law in our country, was originally written on only 4 pages of parchment. And what extraordinary 4 pages: it established the Executive, Legislative & Judicial branches & framed our democracy. It also required the establishment of the Post Office. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Very well done first night of the convention, particularly the incomparable Michelle Obama. Tonight proved, once again, that you can fight for big, bold change and build a big tent party rooted in decency and respect. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Not a surprise but it also doesn't mean UNC necessarily made the wrong decision to open The point is to try. Be smart, be careful, BUT try. And if it doesn't work, pivot like UNC did America is a nation of doers. Doers try things, knowing that the cost of not trying is high — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Dems should definitely try to expand the map in 2020 but not ever lose focus on the best path to achieve the mission critical goal - which is 270 electoral college votes and at least 50 senate seats. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@lifeoftheswine Probably not. I think most Dems understand that we have the best chance of winning by turning out both our voters and persuading some independents (fastest growing voter group) and Rs to vote for us. They also understand that if we win, we can govern and make real change. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

If only Democrats voted in the general election then this would be a relevant poll. While I certainly agree that the main purpose of the Dem convention is to speak to Dems, it is (obviously) a good idea to have a small part of the event speak to independents and Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The key to testing is turnaround time and it needs to be very quick. As of now the U.S. has tested more people as a % of our population than any nation in the world (other than a few small nations) BUT with slow turnaround time its somewhat meaningless. https://t.co/WLUxUINaGg — PolitiTweet.org

Any school - public or private - that does not open will come under scrutiny from families about cost. Many families have "essential workers" or they see most other things open & don't understand why they should pay full price for a partial experience https://t.co/Tp6GW498S9 — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The threat of a Trump re-election has unified Dems and that unity could become the basis of a Democratic Party focused on pursuing pragmatic (and unifying) solutions to the big challenges we face. https://t.co/qOLyrrVWOX — PolitiTweet.org

Huge wave of evictions coming and the White House is busy undermining the USPS and the Senate and House are out of session. The American people need their political leaders to focus on their priorities and cut a deal to help them. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

I think Kasich speaking at the convention is a good idea. If we want to both win & govern, we need to be a "big tent" party welcoming of progressive Dems, moderate Dems, independents & disaffected Republicans. Most Americans are not political & simply want pragmatic solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Congress not in session and no current negotiations on a Covid relief bill. Think about that. And then ask yourself if you are surprised that most Americans - those not on Twitter, working hard to get by and raise their families - don't like politics. https://t.co/NrCVrTepKM — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardMcCombs_ Yes — PolitiTweet.org

Recent polls show slightly more than half of Americans would get covid vaccine (even if free). This is a big problem & it shows impact of both anti-vax movement & the media's ridiculous barrage of stories about Trump rushing vaccine. STOP. An approved FDA vaccine will be safe! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Doing the hard work to try to safely reopen/restart (& being prepared to pivot quickly to close if necessary) is a more valiant & valuable approach than simply throwing up your hands saying "too dangerous, stay closed." The American willingness to try has always been a strength. — PolitiTweet.org

This was a good note until he signed it "gym rat" - which is odd and shows he is overthinking how it is perceived. — PolitiTweet.org
