Being "unable to remember the last time he was employed" is enough to bounce the Dem nominee from the senate race in Arkansas? https://t.co/3CJoZlFJ3E

Note: @41jellis seems to think Bloomberg actually wants to win primaries, specifically Super Tuesday https://t.co/eRCBJGQYAI Then there's @Pareene's theory, which is that Bloomberg wants only to help cause a traffic jam (and brokered convention) https://t.co/kG0QtCvn9I

WIll Dem voter "scramble to find a more “suitable” (meaning 'not gay,' although no one will ever admit it) replacement" for Buttigieg, if he squashes Biden? https://t.co/CRoT8105S1 There's almost always *some* kind of buyer's remorse, no?

Highly recommended–@41jellis on Bloomberg. Don't read it because you're interested in Bloomberg (I'm not). But in process of discussing Bloomberg Ellis provides a lively and v-clear overview of the Dem race so far. https://t.co/eRCBJGQYAI

John Ellis on Bloomberg's run: "His entire campaign depends upon a pandemic onset of buyer’s remorse." https://t.co/eRCBJGQYAI The remorse would be over … Buttigieg.

ENDLESS IMPEACHMENT: "The better path for [Dems] would be to continue holding impeachment hearings indefinitely … from now until next October." The hearings will continue until morale improves! [insert cowbell joke?-ed] https://t.co/OntVwsaahi

Most of the other Dem candidates could be secretly rooting for Biden to take the stand, no? Another reason for them to push impeachment. https://t.co/J3Ubp1dsUU

Posted this as a mere reply but don't see why it's not true: It doesn't matter if Biden was tough or not tough on Burisma. Burisma might rationally *think* he'd be less tough if it paid his son. It's corrupt, in itself, from the start. Not "appearance of conflict." Corrupt. https://t.co/Iuaotnxj8Y

FIRE THE HEADLINE WRITER: "To defeat Trump, Dems rethink the Obama coalition formula" https://t.co/YTahSHcXtw How does this piece show Dems rethinking the Obama coalition formula? It doesn't. It shows them embracing that coalition & claiming they're best positioned to recreate it

Biden's Obama position — "prioritize" deportations of illegals (ie if you're not a criminal you're home free)– now under primary assault from the left, which apparently sees even deporting criminals as too much. https://t.co/vsKm3msmcY

Good background. But if Sondland was a "Trumpworld pariah" who bought his way back in and then slagged Trump when it counted at the hearing, that isn't "the opposite" of Deep State. It kind of rhymes with Deep State, no? https://t.co/q6Gv96bsmO

My line: The "Ukraine thing"–> not a hoax. A very embarrassing front page news story. Democrats trying to hype it up into an impeachable offense was misguided. [Sorry–I forgot I'm supposed to wait for more polls.] https://t.co/vQGOKTgWyk

Why does anyone in the White House use emails? Here they are turning up in public 3 months after they were written. Doesn't happen with a phone call! (PS There's a reason Hillary set up her own system. It wasn't a totally crazy reason!) https://t.co/mS2fUQ0i67

4) @JananGanesh is explaining First World populism. Not offering the grand universal explanation for all the restiveness around the world (which echoes similar world-wide revolts in 1960s, no?). Don't think they're rebelling in Iran and Hong Kong because they're bored. 4/

Alternate view: Poor and affluent are both restive because they sense their society heading into a place they don't want to be. Lack of a larger purpose is part of that unappealing future–but also stratification and communitylessness (though with a high GDP!). 3/

3) Claims populism's half-ersatz. Not enough poor with real grievances. "[T]he better-off … made up the decisive numbers…Time to fathom the boredom of the prosperous dissenter." If only there WERE prosperous dissenters in my (prosperous) neighborhood. I'd have more friends 2/

Something to this but 1) seems mighty convenient. Society's just doing it's job too well! So we're bored! 2) "Anger [as opposed to boredom] is fixable. It can be assuaged through redistribution and other policies." No. Money redistribution (if it happens) can't restore dignity 1/ https://t.co/lQo18GxvyI
