Dems were left powerless at start of SCOTUS hearings. Their focus on ACA turned agita into focus on flipping majority. ISunday-into-Monday @ChrisMurphyCT & @brianschatz raised $600k~ to defeat Perdue. "Don't agonize, organize," Schatz tells me. https://t.co/S2cty1Wmkf — PolitiTweet.org

@mattsgorman I think McCain missed 8 straight months of votes in 2008. It was impressive in an odd way. He even skipped votes on days when at his campaign HQ just across the river. — PolitiTweet.org

The @dccc believes 2020 is an echo of 2008, when House Dems won big again 2 years after midterm wave gave them majority. DCCC is now spending big in 11 GOP seats that Trump won by double-digits in '16. Via @paulina_milla @rachaelmbade https://t.co/hdVdkoxWSS — PolitiTweet.org

This is the Senate seat of ‘Pitchfork’ Tillman, who used to brag about lynching Black folks. It's the seat of Strom Thurmond, who spent 24 hours, 18 minutes filibustering Civil Rights Act. Ready @newsbysamuels on the historic @harrisonjaime campaign. https://t.co/6scViKC75F — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyFratto @LewisForMN We still don't know why Trump went to W. Reed last November. McConnell still hasn't answered Qs about his very darkened hands from last week. And Bernie's campaign took 3 1/2 days to acknowledge he suffered a heart attack last October. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

This quick, transparent release of a candidate's health information should be applauded and replicated by all politicians running up & down ballot when something happens. Voters in Minnesota thank you & wish a speedy recovery @LewisForMN — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMaddenDC @Redistrict The GOP nominee in Baltimore, against Mfume, has raised almost $6.5 million. For a seat Rs have hit 25% just once in at least 24 years, never reaching 30%. https://t.co/cfLVKs1RWp — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@KevinMaddenDC @Redistrict I didn't have room to go into this phenomenon in today's PKCap, but yes, after much liberal angst over whether they were wasting some dollars (Beto, McGrath), it's much more pronounced on GOP side. Where conservative media echo stream highlights these no-chance candidates. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Weekend @PKCapitol: All that “fundraging” by Senate Dem candidates has provided this edge: their candidates are almost doubling GOP incumbents in ads in final weeks. Rs remain competitive solely because of super PACs. I got a look inside the bookings. https://t.co/WRKBP9ona2 — PolitiTweet.org

“I have had so many Margaret Chase Smith moments,” @SenSusanCollins tells @jmartNYT. Collins has long embraced MCS as her role model. But Smith lost her bid for 5th term in '72 amid divided state GOP. Collins now trying for 5th term. Same dynamic. https://t.co/i7HZOoFebL — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@VolbeckWasRight Probably both, at this point, because so much of Trumpism's "policy" is simply personality based. It's about grievances, which, so far anyway, has flown straight into America-first, anti-Bushism policies. But certainly on style, that's here to stay, for a while. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

That’s 44 out of 197 currently serving in House. By next year fewer than 1 in 6 Rs will have served during W’s presidency. Politicians model the presidents of their party in their time. There just aren’t many, if any, House Rs modeling W. Dozens upon dozens ape Trump’s style. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

A stat to consider for those wondering if a post-Trump GOP reverts to Bush-Reagan style: Just 44 House Rs served during Bush 43’s admin. After retirements & expected losses in Nov, that number will drop to low 30s come January. These guys don’t know who the Bushes are. — PolitiTweet.org

So, basically, I tweeted this positive/Costanza thing, and we won. Huh. Ok. I'll keep thinking positive. Maybe. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Ok, I know. I've said this was Costanza-PK season. I would do the opposite and think positive. My life is really good now, I'm not gonna let this stress me out. Let's just score a TD and go to sleep happy. #FlyEaglesFly — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

It's hard to overstate how bad Doug Pederson has become. He is horrific. Wentz is bad, bad, but Pederson keeps pretending it is 2017 over and over, in his play calling. It's criminal, NFL style. With semi-decent coaching, we'd be 3-4 after tonight. #FlyEaglesFly #FirePederson — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@AndrewDesiderio Doug is great coach of great team. It's that simple. All he is ballsiness makes little sense with such a terrible team. He doesn't understand flow of the game with bad, inept players. It's a legit thing -- Phil Jackson could never take a 20-62 team to win NBA title. That's Doug. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Ok, so now I've got my Eagles-Giants wits about me. One thing is incredibly clear: Doug Pederson is a horrific coach of a bad team. He keeps coaching this wretched Eagles team as if it's the 2017 Super Bowl team. Man, he's awful. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Holy shit, what's happening in the Eagles game? It was 7-7, not it's 14-10 Giants. I've only sorta followed online. All I know is: Can we make @kwelkernbc the Eagles new offense coordinator? Thoughts: @jaketapper @anacaprana @RepBrendanBoyle @kenvogel @JoeHeim — PolitiTweet.org

@burgessev @BresPolitico The New York Football Giants play the Eagles tonight. I'm worried about Bres's and PK's health. Yes, sorry for the 3rd person reference there. But that's what the Eagles have done to me this year. — PolitiTweet.org

@DevlinBarrett @brianefallon @seungminkim @AJentleson When Fallon's career warrants a 30-for-30, I'll help produce segments around around fiscal cliff. Great times. That fireplace, man, Schumer spent 1st 2 years as leader bragging about it. He'd set fires on 70-degree days, just because he never had a f'place before. — PolitiTweet.org
