Politwoops

If you needed more confirmation that @SteveScalise is scared @FoxNews is air-lifting reporters into the district to get one single big happy thumbs-up interviews. This is not what I am hearing from folks. It's not what I am hearing from Republicans. Steve knows I know this too. https://t.co/Yw6pGZJDpG QT @SteveScalise: )

It's because they never have the guts (or however you want to describe it) to talk to men that way. It's part and parcel of the pathology. https://t.co/1sWNCB10h5 QT @TheBigBen76: )

So is the deal @stevescalise cut with @Jim_Jordan in return for Impeaching Reosenstein to have Jim be his staking-horse for Speaker? Sure looks it. Gotta admit, if only Steve were as smooth getting reliable flood insurance as he is in cleaning up as he covers up his Russian ties.

I wonder how they would feel about a rally out front of the office there while @SteveScalise is back in town? https://t.co/ilbRhlHoDV QT @seb4466: )

So @SpeakerRyan thinks @SteveScalise is being "cavalier" for pushing for Rod Rosenstein's impeachment. By "cavalier" does Ryan mean "desperate to cover up for being caught red handed with an indicted Russian spy"? I think yes. #KeepItInTheFamily

If that was "strong" I would like to know what @SteveScalise thinks "weak" looks like. https://t.co/5CtRyxg3xq QT @SteveScalise: Joined @WWLTV this morning to talk about yesterday's strong House vote to extend the National Flood Insurance Progr… https://t.co/QchEhSUPBc)

Sweet, sweet @NRA rubles. https://t.co/XWvWWD343P QT @rcarr57: @JimFrancisLA01 @SteveScalise Steve must have some rubles in his PAC.)

So @SteveScalise is already trying to spin his support for impeaching Rosenstein by saying it will give the Russian cover-up crowd "leverage." Leverage over who for what? We cannot let them bend our justice system to their will. Sane Republicans want the truth & Steve is scared.

Undermine our democracy and go a gabbin BS to Fox. That's the @SteveScalise way. https://t.co/q7ogrEQLPT QT @SteveScalise: )

Amen https://t.co/9tqkVCxIVS QT @paradingisfun: )

There is no way @SteveScalise won't cave to this because he wants to be Speaker. Personal glory over America's dignity. That's Steve's slogan. Let's just make sure it's a losing one this year. https://t.co/h871zi2jzY QT @MEPFuller: The group of 11 or so members who signed onto the resolution to impeach Rod Rosenstein are circled up on the House… https://t.co/7SO1BLKYo5)

Probably the scariest part of this from @stevescalise is the fact that sequels are always worse than the original. https://t.co/vn9KkaRu4Y QT @SteveScalise: )

We know @SteveScalise will jump through his skin to defend @DiamondandSilk but will we hear the slightest peep from him over this? https://t.co/GCtCXPAV6s

To think @SteveScalise cares more about @DiamondandSilk than Louisiana farmers. Kinda says it all. https://t.co/ieOiOVcdaU QT @NoToFascistUSA: )

Of course @SteveScalise can't legislate his way out of a paper bag but he sure is good at finding Americans to get all steamed-up at. https://t.co/sVZS001CvI QT @SteveScalise: )

Yay, data! We should not be sacrificing our financial health for our physical health. They can be mutually exclusive. #LA06 #VoteBlue https://t.co/25O7Rb08Xe QT @BetoORourke: If you're able to see a doctor and manage your healthcare, you're more likely to be able to go to work and live to… https://t.co/k1sqKWpkEd)

After chatting w/ Stephanie about this this morning, I still can't get my arms around the idea that we're supposed to keep rolling with this assumption that @SteveScalise's quest for personal glory is good for LA. Do you see it? I just don't. He clearly has no actual influence. https://t.co/qjUzVCoYS9 QT @stephgracela: )

And if we get a Democratic congress my prediction is Putin will be far too scared to ever set foot on American soil. https://t.co/LntntBB3xv

Seems @SenJohnKennedy is testing out some of the new words he picked up in Moscow over the 4th of July. https://t.co/e3PPUYrxzJ QT @theadvocateaca: )

Good morning on a day when we will learn if @SteveScalise can use his "clout" to pull out even a short-term extension of the flood insurance protection or if he is a complete failure for the residents of Louisiana and should drop out to make room for someone who can do the job.
