Who are the congressional Rs who would take action to "purge" Trump/remake GOP? Mostly: 1) retired (lobbyists/cable analysts) 2) lost to Ds/farther-right primary challengers 3) terrified of losing to hardcore-Trump primary challengers 4) hanging on but badly outnumbered — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The reality is that there's far more electoral downside for most congressional Rs in opposing Trump than sticking with him. It's the rationalization cycle that, from Muslim ban to Access Hollywood to the Capitol siege, will keep allowing the envelope to be pushed w/ few limits. — PolitiTweet.org

They clearly waited for a Friday at 6pm to bury the news. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Why haven't @GOPLeader & others publicly acknowledged the election outcome even though he has no doubt as to the result? Because he & other conference leaders are fearful of being overthrown by members/voters who believe it was stolen. Until that changes, their posture won't. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

We've spent most of the past four years focusing on the words/actions of one person. But perhaps at the expense of how even trusted figures in communities have become radicalized by falsehoods ripping through the internet/social media at warp speed. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the fully functional pro-QAnon Facebook page of Rick Saccone, who stormed the Capitol. Is Saccone a random dude? No. He's a former Air Force counterintelligence officer who came within 800 votes of winning a seat in Congress as the 2018 GOP nominee for #PA18. https://t.co/DQWYBZxWec — PolitiTweet.org

I've been seeing the number "75 million" flying around a lot this week. FWIW, President Trump received 74.2 million votes to Joe Biden's 81.2 million. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Obviously it's not as simple as, "who will be NC's Stacey Abrams?" After all, GA is 32% Black and NC just 22%. But I do think NC Republicans would have more reason to fear running against a charismatic Black Dem in the future than another Cal Cunningham-type profile. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

But third, when's the last time NC Dems have run a Black candidate in a Sen/Gov race? 1996. They last won a Senate race in 2008, when Obama led the ticket. And they haven't had a galvanizing Stacey Abrams/Raphael Warnock candidacy. I think it's part of the shortcoming, tbh. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Second, whereas Dems "bottomed out" w/ rural GA whites a few years ago, they've continued to backslide w/ rural voters in NC - esp. in the Sandhills region - canceling out their suburban gains. GA doesn't have an equivalent Robeson Co., which voted 58% Obama '12 & 59% Trump '20. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

First of all, Georgia is simply a more "major metro" state. The Atlanta metro area now casts 59% of the state's votes, whereas the Charlotte/Research Triangle areas *combined* cast only 42% of North Carolina's votes. NC is simply a more small town/rural state. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

It's worth considering why Dems have succeeded in Georgia but failed in another state with a fairly similar demographic profile that's extremely important for their long-term prospects of winning power: North Carolina. — PolitiTweet.org

At the end of the day, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy voted to object to both AZ and PA's electors after acknowledging multiple times to me there was no doubt as to Biden's victory. — PolitiTweet.org

The map objecting to PA's electors is going to be a bit darker red. — PolitiTweet.org
