12/ We are them. The question that matters, the American question is who will we become tomorrow? The answer will determine what America will become. Understanding history offers perspective around the choices ahead. Hanging on to myth obscures both the real legend and the — PolitiTweet.org

11/ Who they were, was good and bad and yes, sometimes virulently racist. For as long as there are people this will be the case in any random sampling of 16 million humans. The issue though, isn’t who they were, though we can admire a great many things they did. They were us and — PolitiTweet.org

10/ is old enough to know the difference. 16 million Americans served in uniform during the Second World War. We do this nation a disservice if we pretend they were any different than us. What they did and achieved is different than who they were. — PolitiTweet.org

9/ politically powerful. The purpose of American politics must be the work of perfecting the Union and the spread of justice, prosperity and peace. This is not soulless work any more than it is fantasy work. This is why history matters. History is truth, not myth. @chriswallace — PolitiTweet.org

8/was a merger between American politics, justice and the face of god. It was a righteous day in a season where they stand out. This is why Mitch McConnells moral obtuseness and vapidity matter. The purpose of American politics cannot be to create the best transactions for the — PolitiTweet.org

7/days. It was a day of confrontation. It was a day where the Truth thundered and the land reverberated. It was a day where oppression, injustice, unfairness, violence and evil were sent reeling under the blazing righteous words of a servant of gods people. What happened that day — PolitiTweet.org

6/ preserved forever a 33 year old man raised his voice and his words became hallowed with the same grace, purpose and greatness of the words etched in marble behind him. This was not a gentle day though it was peaceful, dignified and glorious. Truly, it was the most American of — PolitiTweet.org

5/ high and proud to the Lincoln Memorial where he went to collect an overdue “promissory note”. There he stood in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln. Flanking Lincoln, etched in marble are Lincoln’s greatest words. That August day at the Temple where Abraham Lincolns memory is — PolitiTweet.org

4/ blood an American carried before they became less than, 3/5ths of and separated from pure blooded people in every single facet of life. This is American history. It is true. Yet, Martin Luther King marched with his fellow Americans under the American Flag which was raised — PolitiTweet.org

3/ every step of the way. When the Nazis met at Wannsee they had to settle on who counted as a Jew so they could know who to gas. Of course, their model for measuring racial purity was a less restrictive version of US Southern Miscegenation laws that measured how much “black — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Red Tailed P51’s to be assigned escort duty. It was the heroism of black soldiers and the Double V campaign that powered the beginning of the Civil Rights movement. The Military and baseball desegregated in 1947. A US Army Sgt and WW2 veteran named George Wallace fought it — PolitiTweet.org

I’d like to add one to the list. “Benjamin O Davis, American”There were plenty of racist’s at West Point where Davis was silenced for four years. There were plenty of racist bomber pilots who decided their hate was less valuable to them than their lives when they begged for the — PolitiTweet.org

16/ over saturated with ventriloquist dummies. @BillyRay5229 @Dannystrong — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

15/ I see the world differently on quite a few issues from @mehdirhasan but I admire him because I have no doubt whatsoever that he believes everything that passes his lips. Non believers deliver other people words and thoughts. America needs to hear from her believers. We are — PolitiTweet.org

14/ their words and convictions not lukewarm, snakeoil tested algorithmic phrases that are produced by a highly dubious formula that prizes a banality of consensus over all else. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

13/the maliced and produces the worlds most tasteless Farina, a strain specific and endemic to the Democratic Party. There are exceptions. People like @RepRaskin @TimRyan @brianschatz @ChrisMurphyCT @SecRaimondo and others with retain an ability to speak simply, clearly and with — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

12/ wilts at lies, smears and all manner of crazy. In short, it gets us to today. You cant fight extremism without convictions about freedom. You can’t assert convictions when you buy into the above described testing nonsense. It stifles leaders, obscures the truth, aids — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

11/ that it becomes possible to lose over and over again to a party teeming with malice, extremism, insanity and that is led by amoral Men who have no moral redlines, no faithfulness to the Constitution and no love of Country. It produces a harvest of absolute nothingness that — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

10/effectiveness is every bit as equally stupid as taking Horse dewormer for Covid. What this process produces is vanilla crappola.Tasteless bullshit. It produces out of touch pablum. It produces a diet TAB version of Politics that is so devoid of any passion, energy and purpose — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

9/ The idea that hundreds or thousands of people will watch an ad on a computer screen and turn a dial or press a number asserting what they like and what they don’t and that all of that information will be sliced, diced and compressed to determine some algorithmic way point of — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

8/ none of that mattered. Winning didn’t matter so much as turf and control and so the results of their “study” were publicly released. Let’s talk about DEMOCRATIC Party Ad testing orthodoxy. It’s BS, snake oil nonsense. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

7/ Trump campaign. New manager Bill Stepien came in and commissioned an audit targeting Parscale as the culprit behind the money the Trump’s and Kushner’s stole. The campaign ran out of $, went dark on TV for an extended period of time. Of course, from the Schumer SuperPac world — PolitiTweet.org

6/ appearances after the quarantines began, he raged about being able to drink water with one hand and walk down a ramp. He fired his campaign manager who was an expert on the use of Facebook and who spent years planning his campaign. When he was fired chaos broke out in the — PolitiTweet.org

5/ fighting Trump to “Commission” a “STUDY” and “TEST, “ the effectiveness of @ProjectLincoln ads which were destabilizing Trump psychologically, forcing him to respond with attacks on the Lincoln Project, instead of Joe and Hunter Biden. When Trump made his first public — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Could be equitably measured as worth Billions of Dollars in total impact. The democratic consulting class went nuts, not the good ones, mostly the mid tier players, DC double AA lifers who graze around the Schumer controlled Super Pacs and committees. They took a time out from — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ season for democracy. @ProjectLincoln’s work in the 2020 Presidential election is a good case study on this point. Project Lincoln did not “test” a single ad it ran. The ads were expressions of conviction and they achieved a level of cultural relevance, impact and value that — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/current Democratic Party. Chuck Schumer is an archetypal character in this. I’m a life long NY Jets fan. Always will be. Schumer is like a Jets quarterback. It’s a constant that will never change except Schumer plays in a two team league and a Super Bowl loss here means a bad — PolitiTweet.org

The ability to communicate in modern politics is the essential skill. @mehdirhasan is an excellent communicator who combines articulateness with conviction. There lies, most likely, the great frustration so many people feel about the profound communications failures of the — PolitiTweet.org
