Trump's corruption of his pardon power taints McConnnell's judicial project for all time. A "Trump Judge" will connote corruption, a denigration of the rule of law, not its power. His 3 SCOTUS picks are stained - by him, and corrupt process all 3 used to ascend to the Court.
While exonerating criminals, murderers, traitors, Trump has rushed to put people to death at a rate not seen in generations. Why? Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett - you want to be associated with this, for all time? A frenetic rush to kill people?
No one associated with Trump should be able to call themselves a "Justice." There is no justice here. Entire right wing legal movement exposed now as full of frauds, hucksters, cowards. It's all bullshit.

Trump has defiled the country, brought so much darkness. But we can never forget that Republicans could have removed him earlier this year, and stood up for rule of law, for justice, for the American creed. They chose Trump's rancid illiberalism instead. ndn.org/blog/2020/01/c…
Agree with every word here from @RonBrownstein:

Trump is a villain. Read this thread - the venality is breathtaking. We are witnessing something truly dark right now, unforgivably dark.

Don't think there has been enough attention given to how important the blueing of the heavily Mexican-American parts of the US - AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, TX - have been to the Democrats in recent years.

Yes, a thread.
The victories of Mark Kelly in AZ and John Hickenlooper in CO means that all 8 Senate seats in AZ, CO, NM, NV are now held by Democrats. In 2004 Dems held 2 of these 8 seats.

cnn.com/2020/12/02/pol…
In 2004 when George W. Bush won re-election he won AZ, CO, NM, NV. This year Dems won all 4 states and their 31 electoral college votes. That's a consequential swing. cnn.com/2020/11/30/pol…

Gen Z/Millennials getting it done.

cleanprosperousamerica.org/young-voter-tu…
Young people are not just voting in very large numbers, but they are voting much more Dem.

Clinton 2016 was +19 with 18-29 year olds. Been +33-38 Biden in most natl youth polls. This is a big shift.

2020 #Youthvote = higher turnout, much more D.

Battleground states with highest Gen Z/Millennial vote share increase, 2020 vs 2016 (where have data):

MN 43%
AZ 19%
OH 18%
TX 18%
GA 9%
IA 9%
NC 3%

Want to emphasize - that this vote is up AT ALL, given huge early vote, remains remarkable.

Very good stories about the youth vote in @cnn @politico @usnews yesterday (see yesterday's thread). Today we have this really good one from @NBCNews:

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Moving our little youth data spreadsheet to the @CleanProsperous website (below). They are building it out a bit, adding raw vote totals, making it easier to use.

Thanks again to @tbonier @TargetSmart for providing all this great data.

10/26 #YouthVote thread, using @TargetSmart data:

18-39 voted so far
2016 4.6m
2020 11.8m

18-39s have seen their share of overall electorate increase from 17.2% to 21.1% - a 23% increase.

Bigger slice of bigger pie. Motivated electorate.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Increase in share of early vote from 2016 to 2020 of 18-39s, by state:

AZ +14
FL +11
GA +19
IA +9
MI +155
MN +52
NC +12
MN +11
OH +21
PA - 9
TX +21
WI +23
Some notes:

Polls have been predicting high young voter turnout this year, and we are seeing it so far in the early vote.

Big early youth vote allows Biden campaign to now target lower propensity youth voters they may never gotten to - increases likelihood of historic turnout.
