@RonaldKlain Fwiw, I wrote that they were from central casting - sure, boring, but clearly experts in their fields. Which is what Dems needed. https://t.co/Aot1oj3nQx — PolitiTweet.org

@DevlinBarrett @daveweigel Jonah for Congress was the Fonzi-jumps-shark moment, wrapped around a bad amount of vulgarity for vulgarity's sake. Again, unpopular opinion that you're now allowed to state in DC, because everyone says Veep was perfect: https://t.co/vQFafJQsYI — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@DevlinBarrett Actually, this is a very un-Philly take of mine. The Philly take would be to just love the vulgarity of Veep. The truth is the last few seasons of Veep were average, but like @daveweigel points out with "Cards", it became too cool to voice this opinion. I hated Veep's finale. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@DevlinBarrett Even Veep is wildly overrated. First couple seasons, sure, great. Last few seasons were just one long string of vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity, loosely wrapped around a bad plot line, and eventually the vulgarity was just vulgar, not very funny. — PolitiTweet.org

They set the tone outlining their long tenures in public service, giving them extra heft before a 22-memeber committee in which only 3 served in military & 1 in the CIA before coming to Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

They looked the part. Kent, in a bow tie & 3-piece suit, Taylor, in traditional power suit & Cronkite-esque voice of authority, delivered the precise type of performance diplomats would give. Little drama, but filled with expertise. https://t.co/Aot1oj3nQx — PolitiTweet.org

A really good look at future of KY, where new state AG is emerging as likely successor to McConnell when he (probably) retires end of 2026. Via @PoliticsReid (I know, I know -- McConnell first needs to win again in '20.) — PolitiTweet.org

I'm so conditioned to hearings in which lawmakers - both Rs & Ds - just give speeches, barely asking Qs, that it felt like Goldman's Qs went for 2 hours. Instead, it was 45 mins of quick, pointed Q after Q. SCOTUS hearings, take note. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShaneGoldmacher @SFGiants OK, I'm happy to believe that people steal signs, but that weird Zapurdgr-Like clip seemed, well, unconvincing. Anyway, good luck to both our teams next year. I think MadBum is my favorite target for Phillies, but we shall see. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@ShaneGoldmacher @SFGiants Incomprehensible. The first time a Phillies manager got fired, then rehired by any other MLB team since Tito Francona. So, well, maybe that's a good sign, maybe he turns SFG into the '04-'07 Red Sox. Maybe. May ... I can't finish. Hahahahahaha. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

My inside look at House Rs approach to hearings: Focus on facts, undermining Dem case for impeachment, or concede impeachment is inevitable & just undermine entire process. Rs have a case to make, which card will they play? https://t.co/o6guN6eLvp — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Apologies to my neighbors: That loud scream wasn't me killing someone, it was actually a crazy LOLupon learning @SFGiants just hired Gabe Kapler as manager. I thought it was elaborate hoax. But, no, it's true. Looking forward to inevitable Kap & Chip Kelly podcast together. — PolitiTweet.org

Not since 1954 has either party won back majority just 2 years after losing it. Not since 1952 has the House majority changed hands during a presidential election year. https://t.co/5kTrtCUKe3 — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 @HotlineJosh @LPDonovan This field was considered strong at outset. Since then a crop of potential stars - Harris, Beto, Booker, Klobuchar, Gillibrand, Castro - have fallen flat. Time to still recover, but so far flat. Their performances gave room for Bloomberg/Patrick others to consider late entry. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 @HotlineJosh @LPDonovan “92 was considered weak from the outset. People like Kerrey and Tsongas overperformed. ‘04 is probably most parallel comparison to this field. And not in a good way for this field. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@HotlineJosh @LPDonovan Klobuchar, Harris and Booker added up to a combined - combined! - 5% in New Hampshire in today’s Q poll. What most saw as 2nd tier/big potential candidates at start of race faded away. Only Pete from that crop has risen. That part of field was considerably weaker than expected. — PolitiTweet.org

@martinepowers @meowdiao Folks - too rich not to point out. But @martinepowers runs an awesome podcast. Her Law & Order analogy was great. But she didn't even know that the original Manhattan DA on eponymous Law & Order was named ... Adam Schiff. His greatest line ever: https://t.co/IErwEtPMVM — PolitiTweet.org
