@CookPolitical @JessicaTaylor @jennifereduffy I’ll forever be grateful for the hard work @JenniferEDuffy has put in over the last 31+ years to make @CookPolitical the trusted brand it is today...and I've been really fortunate to count her, @CharlieCookDC & @AmyEWalter as mentors & colleagues the last 12+ years. — PolitiTweet.org

Busy day! Thanks to @MSNBC @kwelkernbc for having me on to talk House...and even more special thanks to @SunriseSrLiving for allowing me to perform some holiday 🎻 tunes in the lobby!! https://t.co/ndmauti1QA — PolitiTweet.org

The two most critical groups in a modern Dem presidential primary: 1) African-Americans 2) suburban women (yes, these overlap). Today, Biden still dominates w/ the first group. But the second is still wide open, and that's where Klobuchar has the most growth potential. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg lost by 24.9% to Richard Mourdock (R), who went on to lose a Senate race to Joe Donnelly (D) in 2012. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

To put it in perspective: Pete Buttigieg received fewer votes en route to winning reelection w/ 80.4% in South Bend, IN (8,515) than Donald Trump received en route to winning 4% (!) of the vote in Washington, DC (12,723). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

There's a big benefit to Klobuchar in just barely having made the cut each time: she's avoided peaking too soon but now she's on a 7-candidate debate stage instead of a dozen. — PolitiTweet.org

Two major House rating changes at @CookPolitical this morning in the wake of impeachment vote: #MI03 Justin Amash (I) - Toss Up to Lean R #PA08 Matt Cartwright (D) - Lean D to Toss Up Full analysis soon at https://t.co/PUBcTczVUK. — PolitiTweet.org

Another campaign pet peeve/bad look in my book: “donate for your chance to win tickets to NYC to see the latest ‘it’ Broadway musical with the candidate and/or his/her spouse!” — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

#Winecave actually ranks pretty low. As long as I live, I’ll never understand how anyone associated with the Clinton campaign thought it was a good idea/use of time to throw high-dollar fundraising galas in Manhattan in Sept. 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Amazing, in this day and age, how often candidates forget to ask themselves: is the $$ I’ll raise at this private fundraiser really worth the bad look of the venue? — PolitiTweet.org

The places where Ds face the biggest risk of a backlash? The 12 Dem districts where Trump was above 50% in 2016: #ME02 #MI08 #MN07 #NJ03 #NM02 #NY11 #NY19 #NY22 #OK05 #PA08 #SC01 #VA07 But, remember: Rs will need to flip ~20-25 D seats to take back the House next year. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Keep in mind: of the 43 districts that flipped from R to D in 2018, the majority (23) voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. A vote to impeach Trump isn't likely to be a political liability in those districts next November. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

@davidfrum So you've gone from courts denying him a gerrymander "essential to his survival" to "well, at a minimum, it would've gotten harder/more expensive" (also likely untrue)? You clearly haven't been following data on House elections & don't know what you're talking about re: NC. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

@soledadobrien For reference, Meadows's old #NC11 voted for Trump by 29.1% in 2016 and for Meadows by 20.5% in 2018. Although the GOP gerrymander of Asheville eased Meadows's path to Congress in 2012, it was by no means "essential" to his "survival" as of the last few years. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Reality check: Meadows's new #NC11 was Trump +17.3% in 2016, redder than any district Dems flipped in 2018. cc: @soledadobrien — PolitiTweet.org

This is not true — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

To put #NC11 in perspective...even with Asheville newly back in the district, it voted for Trump by 17.3% in 2016. Even in the "Blue Wave" of 2018, Democrats failed to flip a single GOP-held seat that voted for Trump by that much. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The new NC map adds the counterculture hotbed of Asheville back to #NC11. But the rest of WNC’s shift right means Trump still won the new district by 18%. It’s not a Dem takeover opportunity and will remain Solid R at @CookPolitical. — PolitiTweet.org
