In both cases (Gore, Biden) I don’t think the BSing is nearly as important as I used to. (See discussion of “character” vs. “Issue” voting here: https://t.co/abpIOjk1wS). You really don’t want an insecure person trying to get approval of the elite, though (even if they never BS). https://t.co/5zFMkC2IY1

1) Biden seems to BS constantly, Gore mainly when he ran for WH; 2) Biden’s BS comes from insecurity of non-Ivy Leaguer facing UP to the elite. Gore’s BSing was an Ivy Leaguer trying to connect DOWN to average voters. 3) Biden indulges in Big BS about big issues-eg Jim Crow 2.0

.@FiveThirtyEight gives McMullin a 6 in 100 chance to beat Mike Lee in Utah. https://t.co/Faa6EJx9jT That seems insane! Lee is at only 42% in the latest poll and he’s the incumbent.

How is this a claim you can brand “False”? It came from a document @PayPal itself put out. Now PayPal’s backtracking after public backlash. Doesn’t make the original claim false. And you don’t verify PayPal’s story that the document was published “in error.” https://t.co/B9KX7RPlKu

1) Trump himself admitted to @DavidMDrucker that he could have done more but didn’t out of anger. It was a very close election. Hard to avoid conclusion Trump blew it; 2) Made a huge difference.
