#GERGEN - Twitter Hashtag

about 3 years ago

Media: @David_Gergen to @Acosta who says, "I wonder if calling out some of these members on their bluster and their bluffs isn't the way to go about doing things? Why buckle to these members all the time?" #Gergen: "I totally agree with that, it's a very good point. What do we have? About a dozen people who really cause problems and throw monkey wrenches into the situation. We ought to have their faces plastered all over the place. These are the guys who almost took us over the brink. If we'd gone over the brink in a shutdown -- and we still might, but it's very unlikely now -- we probably would have had a recession in this country unless we could stop it pretty damned soon. Some of these characters seem to take a certain amount of delight in screwing up other people's lives. .... It's a strange world. I think we don't have a whole lot of time to get things right. You can reach a certain stage in decline where it becomes really difficult to make a comeback. We've been a resilient people for so long that we've forgotten what it's like when you really go into a hole: it can be very, very rough." Gergen points to the new book "The Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point" by @levitsky2 and @dziblatt of @Harvard, just out from @PenguinRandom Kindle edition https://t.co/gdh2GZ20om (#Acosta plans to have one of the authors on tomorrow)

#CNN’s David #Gergen, who worked for both #Nixon & #Clinton, said tonight: “I wake up some mornings thinking we are in the grips of a madman!” Would a #MADMAN tell #Americans in the midst of a historic pandemic that’s already killed 210k “Don’t be afraid of #COVID”? SAD! #Trump

@brianstelter Mr #GERGEN It’s first important for our president to not be a crook. It’s important that we take the right medicine when we get sick so as not to die of believing in magical cures. That’s just healthy thinking.

Theaterakademie @AugustEverding celebrates 25 years with its premiere of Rodgers&Hammerstein’s #Cinderella - a new musically rich symphonic score and creative staging make this production an absolute delight. #standingovations #Olefirowicz #Gergen #Munich

@EdKrassen RE: if #POTUS #Trump is losing his grip as David #Gergen said on @CNN @AC360 Suspect highly manipulative #DonaldTrump is intentionally trying to invoke #25thAmendment to escape failing presidency & particularly, jaws of #Justice as #Mueller & #TrumpRussiaInvestigation close in.
