FLAHERTY: "I still think it's more likely than not that he's going to win."
.@Rob_Flaherty and @JesseLehrich react to @grahamformaine's primary victory speech →
FLAHERTY: "That redemption story of being imperfect and Maine being a place that saw him and helped bring him back — I think that's a good story."
Turns out, the "Straight of Hormuz" card was a pretty useful one for Iran to play.
@JesseLehrich on everything Donald Trump has achieved with his war in Iran → "We leave weaker, poorer, and with some dead people. But other than that, it was great!"
.@JesseLehrich on the risk Jay Clayton poses as DNI →
"There is this fear of Trump using the intelligence community to do some hanky-panky with the midterms. Doesn't feel great that the guy who was just lending credence to his CA fraud theories is tapped to fill this hole."
Why was Donald Trump so gun-ho about Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence?
@Rob_Flaherty: He actually "caused some annoying damage to Trump's political enemies. I see in Trump's fucked up brain why he's like [Pulte] is the guy. He's part of my posse."

Mississippi Senate Candidate @scott_colom tells us that medicaid cuts are crushing his state.
"We are already in a bad situation. It's about to get much worse."
.@Scott_Colom tells us that @JamesCarville announced his candidacy before he even decided to run.
COLOM: "That is 100% correct. And he still doesn't pronounce my name correctly. But he's such a champion for Mississippi.
We asked @scott_colom whether he'd vote for Cindy Hyde-Smith or Lane Kiffin in a head-to-head.
COLOM: "That's the only situation where I'd write someone in."
Inspired by MS congressman @BennieGThompson's famous campaign jingle, @rob_flaherty asks @scott_colom to commit to making a jingle of his own.
"I would love it if Congressman Thompson would let me borrow his. 'Cause it's pretty famous. He's never done a TV ad. "
