Tweet from Steve Schmidt a few minutes ago, responding to a tweet about the panic at the White House:

They must be more than defeated. They must be repudiated. Most people drown not because they can’t swim but rather because they panic. Trump is drowning. They have lost control. The end is coming. No let up. @JoeBiden
is readying himself to meet his destiny. A good man will lead

Rick Wilson tweet about an Axios article that Schmidt was responding to:

2. We have to win.

Joe needs to lead this nation back from the precipice.

[Mme. Defarge]

3. If I could discipline myself

to make this the only thing I read before going to bed tonight, maybe I would actually get a decent night’s sleep.

4. K&R!!!

5. From the Axios article:

Between the lines: N.Y. Times columnist Ross Douthat writes (subscription): "[W]hat was likely to be a slow-motion leftward shift, as the less-married, less-religious, more ethnically diverse younger generation gained more power, is being accelerated nationally by the catastrophes of the Trump administration, which is putting states in play for Democrats five or 10 years early."

The response: Tim Murtaugh, Trump campaign communications director, told me:

"This election, like all elections, will be a choice. In this case, a choice of President Trump’s record of building the best economy anyone has ever seen with the experience to do it again, versus Joe Biden’s record. ... With four months to go before the election, Americans will understand these differences. ... They won’t want to take a chance on Joe Biden."

To which, I say: The economy wasn't built by tRump, but by Obama. tRump was riding on Obama's coattails and anyone who doesn't know that is an idiot. He doesn't have Obama's experience.

14. Obama built a strong economy; Trump damaged it with the billionaire tax cut,

then obliterated it with COVIDIOTIC sabotage as his pandemic response.

6. Love how these 2 former-GOP strategists have increasingly been a double-whammy punch

One tweets the story, the other one knocks it out of the ballpark.

[Indykatie]

7. Wilson and Schmitt are Good At This Punching/Counter Punching Act n/t

[onetexan]

9. Their words have gotta hurt given they were staunch Republicans.

[BigmanPigman]

8. I want him to drown literally!

and ASAP (like yesterday). And no life preservers allowed. I volunteer to tie the concrete blocks to his ankles, my pleasure!

[Chicago1980]

17. Nah...

Then you won't get the pleasure of watching him rotting in the prison the Democrats name after him then they take control of the senate.

[marble falls]

10. "No let up." All in.

[gademocrat7]

11. K&R

Pedal to the metal til the chump cabal is removed.

[2naSalit]

12. Never let up...

They must all go.

[SergeStorms]

13. Not only Trump and Pence...

but every no good, mother stabbing republican senator that enabled Trump to do his worst. It has to be a clean sweep. Then democrats must get to work and show the American people that government can work for them, and is not just an enabler for the wealthy and connected. Let's give the American people a truck full of very good reasons to never vast another vote for a republican again!

[RobertDevereaux]

15. Empty the Senate of Republicans in three elections...

2020, 2022, and 2024.

[SergeStorms]

19. If you don't have a dream...

you'll never have a dream come true. That's a lofty goal, Mr. Devereaux, but a goal worth working for.

[RobertDevereaux]

22. Yep. I dream BIG!

[calimary]

16. trump isn't doing anything because he expects Putin to pop in and save him at the last minute.

He thinks Putin's gonna help him cheat his way back to the winner's circle again.

But if we all vote, we can overpower that, and wipe that "advantage" OFF THE MAP!

[SergeStorms]

20. I think the...

Moscow postmark on Vlad's absentee ballots will be a dead giveaway to poll workers. Voting by mail could put a major spanner in the works, as the Brits say.

[liberaltrucker]

18. VP Biden should take James Carville's advice:

Paraphrased-When your opponent is drowning, throw
the motherfucker an anvil.

[Boomerproud]

21. Joe Biden has no choice but be completely prepared

when he takes the oath. No 1st year learning curve allowed. He will be going into a snake pit.

[Cha]

23. RT.. KR!

TY, hpd!

[Kid Berwyn]

24. They should panic.

To stay out of prison, Trump and all of his enablers and accomplices are going to need a lot of BIG LAWYERS, real soon.

[Dawson Leery]

25. Putin will help.
