Totally willing to accept the sincerity of their antipathy towards Trump while also not forgetting that in their ideal scenario he’d be replaced by a George W Bush

Thank you. Will Selber's scathing comments about the Afghanistan withdrawal and Afghan translators and Gold Star mommies as he admits to knowing nothing about immigration and totally lets up on Trump and Bush II is ridiculous.

Absolutely. If in 2016 we got, say, Jeb, Miller would have been WH Comms Director while a functionally identical SCOTUS supermajority gutted Roe. Today they’re on the right side of things in an important way but we don’t need to get too cute about it.

I wonder if they would have gutted Oberfell more quickly?

Who knows how far they’d have gotten without the “everyone’s a dumbass” albatross of Trump I.

I am a regular viewer of their podcast and this is not at all true. They are all highly critical of Bush.

Print mag person: Selber is not, and Tim really isn't.
