So Iran War:
— will cost GOPs midterms and cripple Trump’s presidency, at least domestically
— hamstring his foreign policy (eg he now needs Russia for diesel)
— will damage GOP for decades into future by giving Democrats influence over 2030 census

(Note: This is true even if Trump ultimately prevails over Iran *after* the election. Too late.)

By “void” I mean there are NO tweets of any kind from Ennis between 10/2 and 10/9, when Talarico reappears. The communications guy was not communicating. https://t.co/jZcyvtvoJQ

Here’s the tweet Talarico’s spokesperson put out two days after his candidate’s “bad” flu was said to have been diagnosed and he dropped off the trail. True, it doesn’t say that Talarico would be at any of the events. Still seems discordant, especially since I can’t find Ennis himself mentioning the flu while Talarico was absent, and there’s a void from 10/2 to 10/9. He should feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

(No mention of the flu on @TeamTalerico page either, FWIW.)

Talarico’s own Twitter feed has only 5-8 posts during his off-the-grid period (depending on if you count Sept 29). Who knows who wrote those posts, of course. Why couldn’t he just have tweeted “Hey, I still have the flu. Hope to be back soon”? (Couldn’t the campaign have tweeted it for him?) It’s just weird.

Do you find Talarico’s explanation for his NINE day absence plausible? Sorry, I don’t. Not in the final weeks of a close campaign without his campaign trying to fill the void with, eg, videos of the candidate thanking his supporters from bed. I’ve been wrong before but it seems like there is still a mystery here.
