This is what happens in a conventional campaign with a conventional candidate. They’ve been planning this for weeks and decided to push on, despite the news yesterday and the #Parkland anniversary today. The video is 3.5 minutes of blah that the #MAGAs are already ridiculing 1/
And “normal” Republicans will roll their eyes at. To have ANY chance of making a dent in Trump, Haley would have to go all in on attacking him. Instead, she and her team are stuck firmly in 2015 thinking (h/t @TheRickWilson) that if they can just ignore Sauron 2/
What they either don’t know, don’t understand, or can’t comprehend, is that Trump’s minions will do his work for him. Like Sentinels in the Matrix, his supporters will leave no piece of Haley’s campaign unscathed, as he sips Diet Coke at Mar-A-Lago…3/
1/3 TO THE #MAGAS SO THEY STOP BELIEVING THE #GOP LIES ABOUT SS/MEDICARE.

PS/ Keep in mind that #MAGAs don't understand how viruses spread—they believe they respect national boundaries. For this reason, the #MAGA response to this chart is that every nation should have a COVID-19 outbreak that tracks with population. That's not how this works—any of it.
PS2/ Donald Trump had a massive head start on these other countries; had more resources than these countries; and had a better healthcare system than at least some of them. There was no reason would couldn't have limited virus spread the way—say—South Korea (pop. 51 million) did.
It stands to reason that having more Twitter followers results in one’s tweets receiving more retweets. Does the ratio of retweets to follower count vary between different populations of Twitter accounts?

@ZellaQuixote Results, in descending order of average number of RTs per 1000 followers. The tweetdeckers and spambots take first and last place respectively due to the former focusing on getting huge RT counts on a few tweets and the latter prioritizing repetition and volume.
@JeremyToback @adrielhampton @ryangrim @ewarren Sure, like you buy a good house and tear the entire thing down because you automatically think that razing a good building is the only way, while that's only true sometimes.

@JeremyToback @adrielhampton @ryangrim @ewarren "My way or the highway!" The far left said, as they clung to a guy no further left than a 1970s democrat as their only hope for their worldview.

@JeremyToback @adrielhampton @ryangrim @ewarren "Burn it down or bust," they said and refused to vote, while their landlords, employers, and #MAGAs all around showed up at the polls, because they're smart enough to understand that if abdicating one's vote in the service of a tantrum means generations of not getting "my way"

What’s up w/ Manafort’s $125k payment to MMSC, owned by m, a longtime Manafort pal & the chief pollster on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Russian trolls can be surprisingly subtle, and insidious.
The EPA staffers destroyed files under audit

🔥Hey Trump - I’ll tell you who can pay for your dаmn wall ... Robert Mercer. He owes $7B to the IRS‼️ vice.com/en_us/article/…
Or better yet, fuck your wall and veterans what you stole from them and help pay for pre existing conditions‼️
🔥#MAGAs who are jumping for joy that ObamaCare was declared unconstitutional by a corrupt Federalist Judge in Texas can get back with me when they learn that they can’t afford health insurance because EVERYTHING is going to be a #PreExistingCondition 🔥
So the #Brexit folks (@danarohrabacher's friend, Farage, and Wigmore) were doing the exact same thing that the Trump fam and surrounding #MAGAs were doing. Not surprised one bit. No doubt the real story is much worse. (Murdoch owns The Times.)
