- I did NOT write Pokemon go to the polls and I was not a speechwriter on this campaign!
- "Pokemon Go to the Polls" was a GREAT line that people are still talking about a decade later!

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
Happy 30th anniversary to the Nintendo 64!
From Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 to GoldenEye 007 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the N64 helped define an incredible era of gaming.
30 years later, it remains my favorite console of all time.
