Reading the @WSJ 's distress over the GOP is fun: "Republican parties in both Arizona and Michigan... are a mess of division and disarray. None of this bodes well for the party nominating a presidential winner in 2024, or winning either house in Congress." https://t.co/6Bc95QVE5N — PolitiTweet.org

By my count, there have been more articles and newsletters about Don Lemon than the flailing CNN morning show has viewers. — PolitiTweet.org

@benjamin_oc @ds228 "The Lost Man" by Jane Harper, set in the desolate sheep country of Australia, is one of the best mysteries I have read in years. And her others, while not as rural, are also very good. — PolitiTweet.org

Solid @monthly summary of the stakes in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election. A sign of the times is how much pivots on an election to an ostensibly non-partisan judicial position. https://t.co/pwpUDHKRtn — PolitiTweet.org

In a right-on column, @JillDLawrence deals with the stubborn resistance of GOP governors (from DeSantis to Haley) to Medicaid expansion. It remains puzzling to me why Republicans believe that the voters will reward them for making Scrooge seem generous. https://t.co/mEB9P1VD9o — PolitiTweet.org

@jpitney @marybschneider Jimmy Carter in the 1976 primaries was the best presidential candidate of my lifetime. The general election campaign was meh. But he was so inspiring when he first started. (Of course, I went to work for him). — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 It was a difficult time for America -- and Carter, to his credit, never indulged in much happy-talk. — PolitiTweet.org

The speech never used the word "malaise" and the initial response from Americans was positive. What screwed Carter is that he then went through with the hare-brained idea of purging half his Cabinet. (FYI -- I was a Carter speechwriter, but didn't work on the big speech). — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Rosenwald @brianros1

I’ll probably have more on Carter after I read the malaise speech again tomorrow to teach it this week.

@pauldrisley No one, ever, with the exception of Biden has ever been given the VP after running exceedingly badly for president. Biden was picked by Obama for the same reasons he would have been picked if he hadn't run. Biden was an experienced DC hand with ample foreign-policy experience. — PolitiTweet.org

@GenCounselWolf Ryan was taken very seriously as a possible 2012 presidential contender. Pence is more marginal, but there was pre-Trump talk. — PolitiTweet.org

Can we get over the notion that anyone runs for VP? Best way to be VP nominee is to be a strong contender who doesn't run: Mondale (1976); Bentsen (1988); Gore (1992); Kemp (1996); Ryan (2012); Pence (2016); Kaine (2016) — PolitiTweet.org

From my @rollcall column: "There are three groups with infinite faith in the capacity of people to change in midlife: shrinks, advice columnists and political reporters." That's why, briefly, there was talk that even Marjorie Taylor Greene had evolved. https://t.co/sxO5RlpssY — PolitiTweet.org
