🧵As a White House staffer, I want to unpack some of the news that broke yesterday. .@theatlantavoice: "Black unemployment across the country is as low as it has been in years...these numbers are reason for optimism." Image

If I may dust off my research hat for a moment, Cornel West can't win.

And I'm not saying that for the reasons you may think! In fact, here I am very jazzed to meet him (on my birthday, no less) when he spoke at my alma mater GW in 2013.

Walk with me. Image Me using the word "can't" over "won't" was a deliberate choice. That's because the latter is a political discussion not worth having due the former.

West *legally cannot* win. Slapping "Party" at the end of your org name doesn't just make it so from an election law standpoint.

Thread 🧵

You know what? I like to have fun, so I'm actually going to defend @TudorDixon some here. The core Q driving this memo is where the burden sits for ensuring favorable outcomes for Michigan Rs. Given the facts of this cycle in particular, it always rested with @MIGOP. Now, I'll give Paul this: Dixon was a weak candidate. But you know who else would have been "untested," suffering from "low name ID," advancing past the primary with "no statewide operations," and angling to earn Trump's favor?

Every other goddamned R that launched a bid.

Hey #TeamPete, wanted to speak to you personally on this morning's pieces on race as it relates to this campaign. Hope you'll take the time to hear from me. Thread. 1| I say it often because it's true: I'll go to the mat for this team every time. Full stop. Getting to be in the trenches with this particular crop of extraordinary human beings on the daily is most likely the coolest thing I'll ever do and I'm so good with that.
