Lincoln Project co-founder @reedgalen: "The Republican party is not a center-right party. It is an authoritarian-ish, statist, nativist, ethno-nationalist organization that now captures somewhere between 45 and 47 percent of the country and that's a hell of a problem."

.@mehdirHasan hones in on the president's White House speech:
"What we just saw is not normal. It's not democratic. It's not constitutional. Maybe not legal, given he's in the White House doing a campaign event. And none of it was true!"

.@mehdirhasan on Trump's White House remarks: Donald Trump is the worst sort of Bond villain. He tells you his evil plan before he does it. He's come out on air and told the American people that he's won states he hasn't won.

"I still think it's incredibly, incredibly early and that it's a pandemic, votes are still coming in, it's unlike any election we've experienced. So, it's too early to make a call right now, but I'm optimistic"

"Donald Trump is kind of the gambler, he's a day trader. He throws a lot of things out there and hopes they stick," said Lincoln Project co-founder @TheRickWilson. "So he may come out tonight or tomorrow and simply declare victory."

Mehdi asks @natsechobbyist, wife of impeachment witness Lt.Col. Alex Vindman, what she would tell Donald Trump tonight.
She looks at the camera:
"You need to leave. You had four years. We're not better off. You are not a leader."
She has more to say. You'll want to see it.

"He's been racist throughout his life," @johnlegend says of Trump. "This guy is trying to use racial issues... as a cudgel against Joe Biden." He adds that Biden has work to do on racial issues, but he expects that Biden will be "frankly, less racist than Donald Trump."

Republicans "don't believe in democracy," @JohnLegend tells Mehdi. "I feel like they're an entire party that knows they're on the losing end of any number of issues... they've decided that democracy is disposable."
