There are zero working journalists in America who sincerely believe that Donald Trump’s political movement is motivated by worry about civility and over-the-top political rhetoric. A lot of rotten people in this business but I would never insult their intelligence like that.https://twitter.com/pwthornton/status/1051263630761709568 …

Really — these are devoted followers of Donald Trump! Just because they tell some ridiculous lie doesn’t mean you need to take it seriously.

An amazing thing about American politics is that a political party led by Donald Trump — Donald Trump! — can pretend to be bothered by incivility, all of party-aligned media will suddenly start talking about it, and then a huge share of journalists will pretend to believe them.

I want a 2020 presidential contender who will admit that most “prestige” television is actually bad.

A better way of looking at it is that there is *some* strategic value to running a well-funded statewide race in Texas but transactional donors would never fund such a thing so it’s helpful that somebody did.

To complain that inspiration-driven, largely expressive small dollar donors don’t act like tactically-oriented transactional ones just seems misguided. It’s like complaining that your doctor didn’t fix your car.

The dude with the sword? That’s Gavin McInnes, founder of the far-right fascist gang the Proud Boys. The vandalism? No evidence that it’s “antifa.” The violence? Videos from last night show abt 20 Proud Boys beating 3 people while they’re on the ground. This is so infuriatinghttps://twitter.com/foxnews/status/1050953019708375041 …

At one of the first doors I knocked, I met young man named Jordan. He said, "Are you really going around to make sure everyone in my neighborhood can vote?" I said yes. He grabbed his coat and said, "I'm coming with you to help." This was his first, but not last, canvass.pic.twitter.com/C765b8uHfI

If Ben Sasse thinks the answers to America’s problems aren’t going to be found in politics, he should consider resigning his senate seat and finding another line of work.

Political tribalism is overblown 1) dislike of other party is dislike of their politicians, not voters http://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/~jnd260/pub/Druckman%20Levendusky%2018-0089R2%20TEXT.docx … 2) many dislike political people in either party https://academic.oup.com/poq/article-abstract/82/2/379/4996003 … 3) out-party dislike linked to ideological disagreement http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1532673X17703132 …

Imagine how many arrests would already have occurred, and how many NYPD and FBI “visits” would be happening right now, if a bunch of anarchists had posed for such a picture after someone broke a Starbucks window. We see you protecting the Proud Boys, NYPDhttps://twitter.com/huntedhorse/status/1050966371021000704 …

And the larger theme seems to be that Trump doesn’t drink and doesn’t approve of drinkers but is trying to talk himself into the idea that Kavanaugh is okay.

The context in which this all came up is Trump was in Ohio and is free-associating about having learned that Grant is from Ohio.
