One defense of Trump you'll never hear-- not from his most fervent supporters, not over any scandal-- is "he's not the type of person who would do that."

Yeah, shoutout to Carr for making Talarico a national figure.
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

Good for the nation’s 50 governors. 👏🏾
Bipartisan governors just said NO to Trump's partisan stunt—NGA cancels White House meet after he tried inviting Republicans only. Even GOP chair Stitt called it out: We represent ALL 50 states, not just his club. This is leadership standing firm against division. Who's next? #sheshed

You are one member of a larger coalition. That coalition has a process through which it decides who will lead it. “If you don’t decide to support my guy, I will leave the coalition” is behavior that will destroy the coalition, weaken yourself, and ultimately lead to worse outcomes than participating
Hey maybe the dems should learn a lesson and not run "moderate" Dems who are actually just republicans
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS
