Dear @NoLabelsOrg, you keep pushing Ross Perot as the reason to pursue your pro-Trump fantasy. Perot ended 1992 with 20% of the popular vote and ZERO Electoral Votes. History sees him as a spoiler. That’s what you’ll be. But it won’t be just a presidency, but democracy itself. 1/
In fact, you never mention the last two third party candidates to receive significant Electoral Votes? Why? Because using Strom Thurmond (1948 Dixiecrat ticket) and George Wallace (1968 segregation) is bad politics. Nancy and Mark know this, but they do it anyway. Why? 2/
Because for them, there’s no downside. If they run a third candidate, like @LarryHogan and Biden wins, they can say they gave voters a choice. If @realDonaldTrump wins, they’ll be able to scoop all that sweet #MAGA cash (b/c) their Georgetown/Miami mansions aren’t enough 3/

You can get a lot of ink, like @NoLabelsOrg, if you’re willing to say anything to anyone at any time. Problem is reality still says you’re spoilers. politico.com/news/2023/06/1… 1/
This quote, from Ryan Clancy, is pure gold. 2/ Image
@NoLabelsOrg is a Republican front group. They “might” back off their 3rd party insanity/inanity for DeSantis. Conveniently, they don’t want to talk about abortion…why could that be? 3/

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/

A few thoughts on Kevin’s tough-guy stance. It’s all an act. He sold out to #MAGA for the Gavel of Damocles but now he’s stuck. He knows default on the debt is a terrible idea. He knows the GOP will take the blame (they always do) and he knows his big $ donors demand he fix it 1/
So KevBo looks around. @potus to the left, MAGA to the right. Neither one plans on budging. @SpeakerMcCarthy is hoping and praying that the WH, Schumer or McConnell will come to his rescue. They won’t. He’s convinced the “moderates” once again to do his dirty work. 2/
And then there’s the hypocrisy. The @HouseGOP voted three times for “clean” #debtceiling increases under Trump WHILE ALSO jacking the deficit with massive tax cuts for wealthy and corp America. Kevin’s look down at the bed of nails his party made, he just won’t lie in it. 3/

On this #January6th, let's review the last two years. First, we should thank those officers who put themselves between the insurrectionists and American democracy. We should take an extra moment for those who gave their last full measure of devotion...1/
Never forget that #January6th was a conspiracy begun and driven by Donald Trump and his cronies. @MaryLTrump told us he'd never leave peacefully and she was correct. He was aided and abetted by dozens, if not hundreds who were happy to see democracy fall for their own gain...2/
At the Capitol that day, the likes of @HawleyMO and @tedcruz objected to an election they knew was free and fair because they believed it was good for their 'brands' and would help them win #MAGA support down the road. Both are cynics who don't belong in office...3/

Quick 🧵on why @GOPLeader is scrambling around like a raccoon on an overturned garbage can.

Sometime last month, he got a poll back showing that suburban white voters were either staying home or voting blue. They freaked out and called in Gingrich and Frank Luntz 1/
They went into overdrive, probably spending a shit-ton of money on more polling and focus groups and came up with their half-baked “commitment” to America. Problem, though: all the messages are so thin as to be meaningless. “Better economy” - good one, Kev. 2/
On the other side, though, they found that #UltraMAGA voters don’t really love anyone, either. Enter the racist bullhorn brigade. When all else fails, scare the white people. 3/
