      I had about 10 minutes of freaking out over that Politico Larry Summers piece this morning but then I calmed down, for reasons well explained in this thread.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1357700075200380930 …

      There’s an important lesson here. It is very credible that the White House denies Politicos claim that the Summers oped or Summers thinking is influencing their internal thinking because there’s basically nothing the White House has **done** to support that claim. https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1357687718751444994 …

      The basic dynamic to understand is that Summers has been trying to wheedle & worm his way back into the White House for a year now and keeps getting rebuffed. So that creates an incentive for him to write attention getting op eds and seed the idea that he's being listened to.

          Yes! But hopefully his argument fails on its merits. He's assuming that "political capital" is like $ in bank; that questions of WHEN one spends are irrelevent. This overlooks timing/momentum entirely--an analysis of politics by a guy who's always been politically ham-fisted.

          An interesting difference between 2008 and now is that the Twitter graph mind is able to act as an immediate brake-assist on certain kinds of whisper campaigns. Within hours of “people are saying” there’s this very public consensus within key circles of “uhh no they ain’t!”

          Just like Rahm there are a few who really seem to not get NO for an answer and are trying to get a foot inside the door. 🙄
