Former White House Communications Director @Scaramucci on his view of Trumpism: "[It's] a hijacked, deformed brand of Republicanism...massive deficit spending and sometimes very reckless behavior when it relates to public health and safety."

@Scaramucci .@Scaramucci on the impact of a Biden win: "I predict that this will be very good for the economy."

@Scaramucci .@SteveSchmidtSES on role of @ProjectLincoln during the election: "I think that we were effective in accomplishing what we wanted to do and defining the race around Trump. We've always thought that the race was about one thing...it wasn't about issues. It wasn't about policy."

@Scaramucci @SteveSchmidtSES @ProjectLincoln .@SteveSchmidtSES on Trump's ideology and how it fits into global trends: "I believe it's a statist authoritarian ideology with fascistic markers...All over the world, we see democratic recession. It is not a mistake that Nigel Farage is on a stage with Trump in Arizona."

@Scaramucci @SteveSchmidtSES @ProjectLincoln .@SenWhitehouse: "I've got a lot of colleagues who are going to find the end of Donald Trump a real relief. And by colleagues, I mean Republican colleagues."

@SteveSchmidtSES @SenWhitehouse .@SenWhitehouse on the integrity of the election: "It also looks like the vote the count has been done in a pretty legitimate way…there have been lots of allegations of fraud, but it's all been just talk and there's been no evidence to support any of it."
