A very plausible 2020 scenario Dems have to take seriously: Trump loses popular vote by ~5 million as Dems narrow deficit in TX, expand lead in CA & flip MI/PA blue BUT Trump narrowly holds onto AZ, FL, NC & WI and wins reelection by a single electoral vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Not to discount the Butti-Boom of March & the Warren Swoon of June... ...but just a gentle reminder that we've got 7+ months of ebbs, flows & shiny objects to go before people actually start voting. — PolitiTweet.org

Have to disagree re: this making impeachment politics more complex for Pelosi. Porter & Malinowski are two of the most liberal Ds who flipped R seats in '18 & Clinton won both #CA45 & #NJ07. More importantly, the # of House Ds who support impeachment is still nowhere near 218. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s SCOTUS decision should accelerate the (probably) inevitable: Virginia’s evolution to a fully blue state government, in addition to losing swing state status at POTUS level. — PolitiTweet.org

Let's throw out a few approaches and take a poll. Instead of favoring one political party, district maps should be drawn to: — PolitiTweet.org

A major obstacle to ending partisan gerrymandering: reformers universally believe SCOTUS should find it unconstitutional but don't agree on a remedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This does NOT make it any likelier, imho, that SCOTUS will take action to rein in *partisan* gerrymandering in the MD/NC & other cases. Interesting mix of justices in the 5-4 VA Bethune-Hill majority: Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan, Thomas, Gorsuch (Breyer dissenting). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: SCOTUS upholds lower court ruling striking down previous GOP-drawn VA delegates map as racial gerrymander. New map dramatically increases odds of a Dem takeover in November. https://t.co/BlQD4gM0g9 — PolitiTweet.org

At some point (and I think 20 candidates spread out over 2 nights is a bit past that point), you can’t really call these things “debates.” — PolitiTweet.org

Still, this is going to be a tough district for Dems to flip in 2020. It’s not just wealthy Indy burbs, it’s also got pro-Trump factory towns. In terms of composition, it’s pretty much Indiana’s version of #OH12. — PolitiTweet.org

Still, this is going to be a tough district for Dems to flip in 2018. It’s not just wealthy Indy burbs, it’s also got pro-Trump factory towns. In terms of composition, it’s pretty much Indiana’s version of #OH12. — PolitiTweet.org

And, an added coup for Dems: Brooks isn't just one of 13 women remaining in the House GOP conference, she's the *recruitment chair* of the NRCC. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This is a classic upscale Whole Foods district, the kind where Dems made serious inroads in 2016/2018. Trump improved over Romney in every other IN district. But in #IN05, Trump took just 53% to Romney's 58%. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Rep. Susan Brooks (R) retirement moves suburban #IN05 from Solid R to Lean R at @CookPolitical. It's the only Dem-trending GOP-held district in Indiana. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This just doesn’t hold water: 1) Joe Morrissey actually got his highest % in a near-universally black section of SD16, Petersburg. 2) Bumping SD16 from 53% to 55% black would have done nothing to change the outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisbentson No, but would have good chance at ME statewide (2 EVs) if things get out of hand for Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

If Dems end up w/ a bad nominee, states Trump actually has a chance to flip include ME, MN, NV & NH...but NM/OR would be sign of a delusional campaign. https://t.co/ZaTsHjjTwh — PolitiTweet.org

Shrewd move that, come 2020, will make Democratic presidential nominee Marianne Williamson constitutionally eligible to share a ticket w/ vice presidential nominee Eric Swalwell. https://t.co/fMgGKT2ZfY — PolitiTweet.org

This story is totally nuts. To me, it's made even nuttier by the fact that Hofeller (a longtime source, in full disclosure) incessantly preached the importance of data security to his party's redistricting outcomes. https://t.co/lrNxPfDSSq — PolitiTweet.org

I asked if he supports adding a citizenship Q to the 2020 Census - even if it could shortchange CA (29:52). "Would it not be informational to us how many people are citizens, how many people are not?"..."I think it would be good data for us to have." https://t.co/8QQYXHUAfI — PolitiTweet.org

I asked Leader McCarthy whether he thinks a White House reprieve for Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher would be an appropriate use of power to pardon (32:15). "The president has the power to pardon"...but "I think people should have their day in court." https://t.co/8QQYXHUAfI — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I asked Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who in the House he thinks has potential for national office (55:30). He named: #WYAL Liz Cheney (R), #TX02 Dan Crenshaw (R), #FL06 Michael Waltz (R), #NY21 Elise Stefanik (R) & #MA04 Joe Kennedy III (D). https://t.co/8QQYXHUAfI — PolitiTweet.org
