There’s a divergence b/w the trends in national and Iowa polls. Warren is dropping nationally and flat in Iowa. Biden is flat nationally and dropping in Iowa. Buttigieg is surging in Iowa and ticking up a bit nationally. Sanders is flat in both. Who would you want to be? https://t.co/rdf5vauUhZ — PolitiTweet.org

@joemcginnissjr Ask her what? She was asked a question and I’m fact-checking her answer, which was clearly false. Anyone even casually covering this campaign knows that those three taxes would affect non-billionaires. Do you seriously doubt that? — PolitiTweet.org

@joemcginnissjr How would you cover a poltiican’s false statement? Please educate me — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

This is extraordinary. Elizabeth Warren says that anyone who is not a *billionaire* won’t pay higher taxes under her healthcare plan. That is simply false. Her financial transaction tax, her employer tax, and her capital gains tax would all clearly affect non-billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

@yeselson @jessewegman @ezraklein I do agree that the 6-8 year (or whatever) sunset idea is the only fair way to do it. But that’s not the view of most filibuster reformers right now. Their view is to kill it at the start of the next Dem presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

@kmoore8228 This is a fair point. But I imagine if there was no legislative filibuster in 2017 McConnell would have found a way to pass a few bills despite the internal party divisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

@jessewegman @yeselson @ezraklein I guess my view is that you either believe in making the Senate more genuinely democratic or you don’t. 2017 was the test and the anti-filibuster left failed. It won’t be any prettier the next time there’s a Trump-like GOP president with unified control. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

@yeselson Yeah but don’t you think the test for how serious the left was about this was 2017-2018, after 8 years of decrying—for lots of good reasons!—the filibuster? Instead of sticking to their guns the anti-filibuster crowd went silent once Trump was elected. (Also for good reasons!) — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

Similarly, if the filibuster hadn’t existed when Trump became president, during his first two years he would have passed the most sweeping agenda in American history. Oddly, abolishing the filibuster was not a top priority for the left in 2017-2018. — PolitiTweet.org
