The traffic here in Park City Utah was Manhattan like yesterday as the slopes were closing. The town is jam packed and literally no one is masked. It is as if COVID does not exist and never has. Here is the thing, Vaxxed and Unvaxxed people look very similar to me at first sight. — PolitiTweet.org

commemorated the Putsch by retracing it’s steps every year. Anybody see any similarities towards that impulse in the seditious Right? Ashley Babbitt is their Horst Wessel. — PolitiTweet.org

judgements of people who interpret the happenings of the day have improved over time. They haven’t. Today’s version might be the coverage suggesting Trump is done because he was deplatformed or that he has lost his taste for power. He hasn’t. When the Nazi’s came to power they — PolitiTweet.org

There are several lessons from this and it something I have tweeted about several times over the years. In the end, this was written and edited by human beings who could not have been more wrong in their analysis. The question for us 97 years later is whether we think that the — PolitiTweet.org

Drown from being unable to swim. Panic kills them. Panic and fear are terrible things and unbecoming in a moment that is a bump not Armageddon. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

panic, rage, circular firing squads and recriminations does not measure up against the scale of Biden’s achievements, the depth of our shared crisis and the fragility of the coalition that is the ONLY thing that will prevent Trump from returning to power in 24. Most people don’t — PolitiTweet.org

each others families happy holidays. Biden should talk about how upset he is about the threats on Manchins family. Biden should clear the table of the staff issues and do what he knows how to do which is work it out. 2022 is here. Soon it will be time for Democrats to consolidate — PolitiTweet.org

The US Congress, even if it were functioning at its highest historic level, as opposed to its worst, is a terrible institution to deliver results in a culture that demands instant gratification. Over the next couple days the President and Manchin will get on the phone and wish — PolitiTweet.org

deal by making clear he blames staff not the Boss for the impasse. In situations like these, it is important to take everything everyone says both literally and figuratively. Manchin has only said what he would vote no on. That is very different from what he would vote yes on. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

facts are, tie goes to the Senator in this game. Biden knows the rules and the game inside the institution he served for 36 years. Manchin felt aggrieved and retaliated but has not made it personal towards the President. In fact, he has left the door open for rapprochement and a — PolitiTweet.org

could be done, when it couldn’t and when he was going to screw you or fight you for politics. This is why Ted Cruz and his ilk are so despised. They can’t keep their word. Apparently, Biden and Manchin had a deal that was breached by WH staffers. Whatever happened, whatever the — PolitiTweet.org

in the world is the male ego and Senatorial egos can be easily affronted. John McCain once asked me if I knew why the GOP Senators respected and liked Ted Kennedy so much. He said everyone knew where they stood with Teddy. He would tell you to your face when he thought a deal — PolitiTweet.org

I’m old enough to remember a Senator named Jim Jeffords from Vermont. @SCClemons has written an analysis of the Manchin situation that perfectly explains it which was perfectly distilled by @RyanLizza. The most important thing to understand here is the most delicate flower — PolitiTweet.org

That is what I am most worried about. — PolitiTweet.org

alone is more than enough to be a cause of celebration as a momentous domestic policy achievement. However, what has broken over the past year and is continuing to break is the extremely broad coalition of Americans who made the Biden Presidency and a Senate Majority real. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

that can be understood and covered by a political press that takes its cues from play by play announcers at MMA events. The doom talk about Biden is absurd as are the pronouncements of failure. Joe Biden is leading in momentous and uncertain hours. The infrastructure deal — PolitiTweet.org

in these United States is the attack on American Democracy from Trump and his autocratic movement. The only way to stop it is to hold the coalition together that gave @SpeakerPelosi the gavel in 2018 and elected Biden President in 2020. The American presidency is not a ball game — PolitiTweet.org

lynchpin of their agenda is a Democratic West Virginia Senator from arguably the most pro Trump state in the country. The answer to this problem is electing more Democratic Senators which is why the circular firing squad is so disconcerting. The singularly most important matter — PolitiTweet.org

angry Biden and the left are with him. Once all of that happens, everything is lined up in January. Lastly, the Biden administration’s greatest mistake, thus far, in all of this, is the complete and total mismanagement of expectations which are to politics what clock management — PolitiTweet.org

In good standing with Fox News, which is the overwhelmingly most efficient platform for reaching West Virginia voters, nearly 70 percent of whom voted for Trump. Manchin is more than happy to let the holiday discussions at West Virginia tables turn on his “surprise” no and how — PolitiTweet.org
