Odd–the quoted sentence is not in the piece that is linked to. Do they always cut the hottest bit?
In the event, it was easy to get around Manchester even 45 min. before the rally's start. https://t.co/cDtXQSOKLb

There are only five voters left in Dixville Notch? What happened to that place?

Sounds like @amyklobuchar's gotten a little more apocalyptic/grandiloquent, if she's making a big deal of impeachment. A little late for New Hamphire, but if she survives … https://t.co/wD5MDFLiIO https://t.co/Uk8wfEpnga

She's a little gubernatorial — hooking our economy into the education system," home health care workers, infrastructure. Could use a little presidential grandiosity to match what Dems think the times require (and non-incremental anxieties about status quo) https://t.co/wtIHVIj34E

PPS: Oddly Biden rally was loosey-goosiest of ones I've been to. Walk right in-no mandatory sign up or penning. Unobtrusive aides. Seemingly no Secret Service. One heckler escorted out by large grey-bearded man (good optics!). "I'm on the edge" a questionable song choice, however

People coming out of the Trump rally in Manchester really do seem happy, and civil and friendly in a @RobertDPutnam kind of way. Except the guy yelling and puking out the drivers' window of the Jeep next to me while he blares loud music. I advise against inviting him to the SOTU.

PS Biden rallies bogged down with old-school trappings–thank yous to various officials/spouses. But Bill Shaheen, Sen. Shaheen's spouse, was impressive. Had a tough job–rallying GOTV for a tanking candidate. A few strong, well-chosen words and he's done–Johnny Cash style.

If Biden just said the word "robots"–as in threat to jobs–that would do wonders to transport him out of the past. Voters are worried about robots! He doesn't have to have the solution. Just recognize theproblem. https://t.co/U2HPPqzH1Y

Biden seemed fine, but I'm a cheap date. Glued to podium until very end Ostentatiously said he'd talk about "future" but a lot of his future proposals seem to be restorations (eg rejoin Paris accord, reinstate assault weapons ban). Seems like I've been to this future. pic.twitter.com/iukRHy2POL

Bernie at a loading dock in Hudson NH. Stump speech with a couple of litanies: inequality. Fair share. Anti- fossil fuels. Student debt. Civil rights. Environmental rights. Gay rights. DOES NOT MENTION IMMIGRATION. Unclear what omission means-except not a big motivator here. pic.twitter.com/X1gyMojA9x

Upshot is, don't buy the line that Iowa eventually got it right because there was a paper record that they finally counted. The paper record is suspect. I assume they got the 2 winners right, but it's FUBAR. https://t.co/1OmHnRgGSk

I'd worried this EERILY PRESCIENT pre-Iowa tweet wasn't as eerily prescient as I'd thought-because the screwup wasn't counting votes but the app. Turns out no-anecdotal evidence from folks at caucuses is that discombobulated vote talliers indeed had trouble counting the 1st vote. https://t.co/gr3A6WPzOg

18 hours (an eternity in Twitter time!) and no response from @NickKristof about where he gets evidence for his assertion that "alcohol deaths (which are greater than drug deaths) rose" in 2018. He might be right! Should be easy to document. https://t.co/xqBDc2okfn

Love New Hampshire voters. Well informed, suitably conflicted. Don't rush them! None of them talked about Russia. (In California, half the Dems in West LA would still be talking about Russia).**

Pete is polished,-very polished. As a result he seems phonier than he probably is. If it weren't for his call for national service (a way to get people from separate parts of US to rely on each other) and a mention of "endless wars," I'd dismiss him as the President of Boys State pic.twitter.com/3OorVF0wUZ

Pete crowd a bit bigger than Amy crowd, even discounting the two busloads of Hofstra kids here visiting the primary. Disco music playing. Could use some colored lights.
