.@EKamarck on the DNC and RNC: The RNC made clear that Republicans are now a one-person party. This is cause for concern, as it takes more than one person to run a government and to be reflective of the country.

Women are fairly evenly distributed across the U.S. and have the potential to determine the outcome in crucial swing states. Some are likely to conclude that Trump doesn't have the character to lead, and that could be decisive in the general election. https://t.co/QVJekrhB0Z

Trump's hush-money trial could be game-changer not for the legal issues involved but for what it says about his character.

"@EKamarck and Muchnick note the conflicting possibilities: 'There are more women than men in the country, they make up a larger portion of the electorate, they are more motivated to vote, and vote blue.'" Via @nytimes: https://t.co/vaBjG8Ebnz
