1. Okay, to expand on point I made a bit more. The core error being made by both Dem & GOP leadership is that Trump is an aberration who will soon be gone. That core error leads both parties to give Trump a free pass on stuff that would get pushback from a normal president.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1134264701616099329 …

7. The core issue, which reasonable people can take different sides on, is: how do we respond to Trump? Is he a freak, in which case goal should be to return to pre-Trump status quo? Or is he transformative & requiring a more radical response?

8. It's impossible to overstate the degree to which elite response to Trump has been governed by nostalgia. That's why the McCain funeral, where they got to mourn their common past, was so emotional a moment. It's why Never Trump right gets bolstered in the press.

9. Although this nostalgia politics is very strong in elite, its not confined to elite. Popularity of Biden is from the fact there is a mass politics for people who just want (understandably!) a return to normal. A president who is human, a politics not in crisis mode.

10. This is a good point. Pelosi is absolutely top notch at strategizing during times of normal politics. Which is why tendency to trust her judgment makes sense. But what if normal politics has gone out the window & a different response needed? https://twitter.com/qjurecic/status/1134278861536014336 …

I don't think he can go unchallenged for another 20 months (or until 1/20/21). That's an eternity in which, unchecked, he will continue to do a huge amount of damage & it only gets worse the longer he babbles "no collusion, no obstruction."
