.@MichaelSteele on Trump’s debate performance: “He looked small, he looked withered, he looked beaten, but most importantly, he looked pissed. And there's nothing worse than a pissed bigot on stage with a woman he can't control."

- Presidential historian @BeschlossDC on Joe Biden’s convention speech: “Those words, ‘America, America, I gave my best to you,’ I can recite them verbatim and will for years. This is someone America was lucky to have as president.”
00:00 - .@GavinNewsom on working with Trump during a natural disaster: “People need to understand this. We had to make calls. We had to grovel with him, who personally needed a call to do the right thing... He's the most un-American nominee in my lifetime.”
00:00 - “It’s a bad look for this country that classified information could be shared by a 21-year-old kid... But you know what else is a bad look? When a 76 year old former president is suspected of doing something pretty similar.” @jrpsaki on the classified documents leak.
00:00 - .@jrpsaki: "If you resort to attacking a candidate's dog, you're probably losing. And you deserve all the ridicule coming your way."
00:00 - .@JasmineForUS: “Springfield is going through hell... because the guy that says he wants to be commander in chief is bringing that hell to their footsteps.”
00:00 - .@jonfavs: “[Harris] had to walk the highest, narrowest tight-rope, and you can count maybe on one hand how many times that she stumbled in the 107 days of this campaign. What she has done is beyond remarkable… Donald Trump doesn’t even have a message right now.”
00:00 - “No matter how hard they try to spin themselves as the party of family values…That’s hard to do with a straight face given that the defacto leader of their party has now been branded a sexual abuser.” @jrpsaki on the GOP reaction to the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case.
00:00 - .@jrpsaki: “Every time he opens his mouth at these rallies and press conferences, he sounds kinda boring, and he looks small. Now, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have stolen the show… They’re shrinking Trump down to the aging, confused, boring, rambling Donald Trump he really is.”
00:00 - .@MitchLandrieu: "Can we just stop on that fact... A guy that wants to be President of the United States first has to go sit down with his probation officer. That is just an astounding statement."
00:00 - .@jrpsaki: "What we saw from Republicans in Tennessee this week was fear-- fear that the outrage over gun violence might put some pressure on them to actually do something. Or at least make it harder to do absolutely nothing."
00:00 - .@GavinNewsom on Gov. Ron DeSantis signing a permitless concealed carry bill into law at a nonpublic event in his office: He’s “scared to death.” @jrpsaki: “Who’s he scared of?” Newsom: “Scared of the people.”
00:00 - .@jrpsaki on Trump’s relationship with Laura Loomer: “Donald Trump is the conspiracy theorist in chief. Laura Loomer didn’t happen to just appear by his side, she is his kind of people… A bigoted, conspiracy addled loyalist isn't the exception in Trump's world, it's the rule.”
00:00 - .@PeteButtigieg on new Iowa poll: “On one level it’s remarkable. And on another level, I could see it. Iowa’s full of folks who are not afraid to vote across party lines… and tracks with the fact that we’ve seen an unprecedented number of Republicans out there for Harris.”
