@BarstoolPAT trying to get more sigs than the hate group. any chance of enlisting @KFCBarstool to help the cause? @RagnaMarkndRoll @terencepetersen

I used to talk to Flake a lot when he was a House back-bencher causing havoc on spending bills. He was considered ultraconservative. Now folks say he’s moderate. I think he’s a true conservative who has the independence of his western roots and genuine kindness and decency.

How is the Senate supposed to seriously investigate something if it's "dangerous" to ask where and when it happened?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

If it wasn't already clear, this week should make it obvious enough. The media chased the Catholic sex abuse story 15 years ago because it was politically useful to them. That's it. Now it no longer is, so they run cover for the Vatican. These people are disgraceful.

Trump's Evangelicals: Watch us do intellectual back flips to argue that policy trumps character in national leaders.

Papal partisans: Hold our beer.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Want to know why we have a world full of politicians afraid to get out of bed everyday and speak without first having every single word they utter vetted by consultants?

Because THIS happens. One poor word choice and you're labeled a racist for life. https://t.co/vbNCKHcSdJ

[Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo]

Privately, some Dems despair Gillum will lose to DeSantis. But some Republicans say it’s advantage Gillum. Really, none of us knows. Still, these concerns, relayed by a top Republican vet of Florida & national races, are instructive

[Richard M. Nixon @dick_nixon]

I still think Cruz wins, but if he does he falls ass-backward into it.

[Richard M. Nixon @dick_nixon]

Cruz is in a sticky wicket. Flogging these old pictures of O'Rourke doesn't change anybody's mind. It just reminds people what a bastard he is, and that's part of why it's so close. The independents don't know where to turn.

[Langston Taylor @langstonitaylor]

Look at Gillum compared to the rest of the candidates - it's not every day you see a correlation this clean. Black Democrats CLEARLY chose him, all across the state. Graphs and map are here: (@TB_Times) https://t.co/T4n1lbdyf4

[(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten]

So on day 1 with all the talk about Gillum's electability, DeSantis does what he does. Politics is weird. We'll see what day 2 brings.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

I think Ben is 100 percent right here. DeSantis wasn’t being racist. No dog whistle here: https://t.co/Q2s3rSvIh3

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

So the Left's theory is that DeSantis, who just spent 35 seconds praising Gillum, used the word "monkey" as a verb in order to obliquely signal its meaning as a noun, reminding covert racists to vote for him -- all without alerting the media. Yeah, sure. https://t.co/mGxCGjONfJ

Ah, I see Ron DeSantis is off to a fast start right out of the gate in FL-GOV.

[Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON* @EsotericCD]

My baseline assumption is that people who make verbal gaffes like this aren't Secret Racists and that accusations of such are, if not bad faith, then overheated. But good Christ man if you can't play the game competently you don't deserve to win.

[Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON* @EsotericCD]

@_Almaqah I've been using phrase "monkey this up" or "monkey around" since I was like 9 years old. (We even nicknamed my first car in HS the "Monkeymobile" b/c whenever me and my friends got into we started acting like monkeys.) So ppl saying "dog-whistle!" don't fly w/me. Just: idiot.

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

I have heard from DOZENS of Rs today, furious that Tea Party cost them DE, CO, NV Senate seats. Tea Party spin not working so far.

Congressional Democrats performing strongly in North Carolina, pretty weak just about everywhere else. #tcot #p2 #election2010
