This position has the virtue of taking the high road (you can be a senator even if you have to use close-captioning–let’s talk issues!) while subtly raising expectations for Fetterman’s performance in the debate. https://t.co/7V5Padecqp

Although in this case the quo (delaying an oil price hike) arguably also would have helped the country more than investigating Hunter Biden (which also arguably would have helped the country, just less) did.

Point made. What’s wrong with making a point? Isn’t making points something politicians do? Before you can solve the problem (e.g.out-of-control border the press isn’t paying enough attention to) sometimes you have to make a point. https://t.co/QHRNnRrlOR

If Lee loses & the other Senate seats split 50-49 in GOP’s favor, that makes McMulliin the deciding vote on who controls the Senate & maybe 2d most powerful man in U.S, no? He’s said he won’t caucus with either party–handing GOP the win. Would he really? https://t.co/220iccHG2z

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

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.
