Replying to @ProfKarpo
@ProfKarpo, @quinmonson, @jrpjrpjrp, & @agimenez05 argue that existing explanations of the partisan gender gap undervalue voters’ contributions by focusing on voter responses to candidate sex rather than candidate gender. #APSRFirstView. ow.ly/3oOP50QP7Ja

The giggling, cheering, rapturous audience was the most disturbing part of last night. A sobering lesson in demagoguery and its intended effects.

Had a great day visiting @BYU political science. I felt bad for being continually distracted by their department's amazing mountain views. Thank you @EthanBusby & @mbarber83 for the invite and great feedback!
