“Trump is a political David Koresh: He sees the end coming and wants to burn it all down and take as many with him as possible” - @kycatswin
What was striking to me re: shifting political calculations is how many Republicans who are on the ballot in 2022 said flatly it’s time for the party to move on from Trump:
Thune
Murkowski
Upton
And that’s just Wednesday night.
But the gulf has never been wider between party leaders and their voters.
Just look at the House GOP and RNC, which have both become Trumpy since ‘16, and how they still bowed even after the riots.
Seeking the nation’s highest office a half-century after his first campaign, Mr. Biden — a candidate in the late autumn of his career — presented his life of setback and recovery to voters as a parable for a wounded country.
Mr. Biden’s victory amounted to a repudiation of Mr. Trump by millions of voters exhausted with his divisive conduct and chaotic administration, and was delivered by an unlikely alliance of women, people of color, old and young voters and a sliver of disaffected Republicans.
One of the more interesting subjects of The Count (tm) is how thrilled the Pennsylvania machers are w how slow NV and GA are bc they want to deliver the 270th electoral vote straight from the 34th Ward, include a coupla @TommyDinics w the ballots
