“Democrats are going to have to give people something to vote for, not just against,” in January’s Georgia Senate runoff, says @mehdirhasan, surveying the party's recent infighting. “They'll have to inspire their base, not patronize them or berate them.”

Who in the world is Emily Murphy? Just a quiet key GOP bureaucrat helping Donald Trump slow-roll his departure from the White House -- and holding up critical parts of the Biden transition, @mehdirhasan says.

"We cannot separate, disentangle, Trump from the Republican Party," @esglaude tells Mehdi. To try is to pretend "that somehow Democrats have to reconcile with Republicans as if these were rational actors who have been behaving in good faith the past 40 years. They haven't."

"What are the Trump voters feeling bad about?" asks @esglaude. "We spend so much time trying to convince those among us who hold insidious views that they ought not to have them, that we don't have enough energy to build the world that we aspire to live in."

Trump "needs to be in the spotlight, he needs to have some other revenue-generating source," biographer @GwendaLBlair tells Mehdi. But she doubts he'll launch a TV network: "That's a pretty heavy investment. He's looking at, what is it, $400 million in personal debt?"

Some Ds say they'll flop in Ga.'s runoff if their more progressive wing pushes police defunding and Medicare for all. But the race for Senate control "is not about speculation, this is about boots on the ground," Jamaal Bowman tells Mehdi. "That's all I'm focused on right now."

Initially, Joe Biden thought he'd make a better president than Barack Obama. But after working as vice president, he told biographer @eosnos: "I realize now actually the best man won.”

.@mehdirhasan: Wants to know, even if Trump is out, will the GOP still act as fuel for far-right movements? Oh yeah, says @cpicciolini. The GOP "has a big problem to deal with. Not only are they white nationalist adjacent, they are QAnon adjacent, they’re militia adjacent.”

Philly @DA_LarryKrasner on a "dark moment" in the city last night: "A couple guys drove up from Virginia in their hummer...they figured the only way to go into the city of Philadelphia was with a gun, handgun on each of them"
Long story short: "We are charging them as we speak"

Some words of wisdom from @WajahatAli: "Democrats, stop chasing Karen. Start chasing Stacey Abrams. Stop chasing Karen. Karen didn't show up for you."

.@mckaycoppins on the political future of Trump's children: Don Jr. "is setting himself up for a future in the party....I think that the interesting friction we're going to see...is that I'm not sure Donald Trump himself is gonna be ready to hand the torch to his son."

Could we really be nearing the end of the Trump presidency? The thought alone is making @mehdirhasan nostalgic. Here's a look back at some of the president's most memorable first-term moments.

President Trump: "It's COVID, COVID, COVID...on November 4th you won't hear too much about it."
And then the U.S. set a new record for cases today.
@MehdirHasan provides the president a much needed reality check.
