Customer Reviews
Tim is such a thoughtful and funny host.
As a longtime lib, it’s all too easy to embrace pur newly ex-gop comrades. But Tim isn’t just a fellow anti-Trumper; he is genuinely thoughtful and willing to reevaluate his own priors. The friendly funny tone may help listeners do the same.
Love it!
A former lefty who appreciates your insights!
The 2024 election
In my opinion, and I do politics all day every day and was an activist for seven years with postcards to voters and learned about every race in fifty states, Trump has no path to victory. There is going to be a massive rage vote on two fronts: women’s healthcare rights and Trump hate. 2020 was just Trump hate and we stomped him. People who claim that race was close are wrong blah blah blah seven battleground states. Look at the win streak the Democrats are on since 2018. That is anti Trump. Look at how we turned Georgia. This is pre Dobbs.
People are paying attention to the monster that Trump is. He has no shot. 15% of Republicans are going to either stay home or vote for Biden. That does it for Trump. All the Democrats need to do is be who they are which is the party for everyone. The votes in the Republican primaries shows exactly what Simon Rosenberg says!!!! They are a dumpster fire and are broke. I love your podcast Tim you are killing it. Great guests.
