Does anyone listen/watch this podcast? I believe it was started by two Republicans. Today’s episode was particularly good (Game We’re in vs the Game We Know). If you have time to listen or watch, please listen to the end. Thank you!

I do. I just listened to one featuring Trygve Olson. But I haven’t heard the one that you mentioned.
ETA: lol, that is the episode. I watched it on YouTube for some reason, and had just glanced at the title on the right. Your title was on the left, on the picture, and I didn’t even glance at it.

I love the Lincoln Project, the Bulwark, and all the other really smart Never Trump Republican- and former Republican-run organizations. They gave me hope in 2017, and continue to buoy my spirits that there really are some honest, ethical, rational Republicans out there.

I think the Lincoln Project, Republicans against Trump, and other former Republicans have a unique perspective and insight. In 2020, I love that the Lincoln Project created and produced ads solely for an audience of 1, Trump. They paid for ads on Fox and their intention was to sidetrack Trump and keep him off his game. Sometimes, I think Democrats are too afraid to fight back, but regrettably the time for playing nice is over.

Hopefully they all will not go back to where they came from when they find it necessary to oppose us.
Although we should make every effort to learn from them, NOW!

I didn’t know they had a podcast. I listen to The Daily podcast (from NYTimes, not the daily show) but that is the only somewhat political podcast I listen to. I watch a lot on Gaza and history on YouTube. If there are other podcasts that go a little deeper into various topics like The Daily, please share!

I'm missing Charlie Sykes. I follow several never Trumper former Republican sites. I like that they aren't slavishly devoted to everything the Democrats do. |

I think the general opinion is the Republican party they started with has been forever altered, so I don't see that happening. Maybe a 3rd party? |

I follow them on FB. And thank you for the suggestions of other like-minded groups. I'm an Independent who last was a registered Democrat, but before that, registered Republican. I don't think I could ever go back to being a Republican again, after the ss of trump. They backed the wrong POS.

I’ll have to check out these other podcasts. I know the guys on TLP said they would return to the Republican Party once TFG was gone but that remains to be seen. Who knows what will happen.

While you're there, you might enjoy Randy Rainbow, as he mocks TFG regularly. |

I wonder if some of them may have opened their minds a bit and moved a little to the left over the past 8+ years. Hopeful, anyway. |

I doubt the Republican party will return as it was.

These two have but I do wonder as well that the party they left will not likely be the same party if they think about going back. When TFG is gone will the party shift back to what was? |

Regrettably, no. I think there are plenty lined up to take off where he leaves off. DeSantis, Tim Scott, Elise Stefanik etc |

Since 2016, they lost the Senate, House and Presidency, yet they are still going strong. 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t foresee a big enough blue wave to ever take a majority in the Senate or House to pass anything without bipartisan support. Bipartisan just isn’t going to happen…checks notes…see border legislation that was DOA. |

Bipartisan just isn’t going to happen…checks notes…see border legislation that was DOA. You would think at some point Republicans would look at numbers and see the math is not on their side. The majority of younger voters are more liberal. As more of them reach voting age, the numbers just do not favor Republicans. Trump, essentially an incumbent, lost anywhere from 15-50% of the Republican vote to Nikki Haley. He's underperforming. If he can't win a higher % of the Republicans, how is he ever going to win a general election? If he gets convicted, his support drops even further. But, no, Republican politicians are rallying around him (Mitch McConnell) and doing what he tells them (voting no on the bipartisan border bill and the bill to protect IVF). The Republicans will probably pay for both votes in November. One would assume there is a tipping point where the never Trumpers, moderates and Independents out number the MAGA supporters. Either we haven't reached that point or Republicans have just conceded their party to Trump and his supporters. Instead of changing direction, adjusting their platform to appeal to more voters, reaching out to younger voters etc, Republicans will just try to suppress votes through voter suppression laws, voter intimidation, voter purges, voting policing units, removing polling places etc. They're also laying the groundwork to claim the election was stolen, rigged etc unless Trump wins. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/03/us/politics/trump-voter-rolls.htmlTrump’s Allies Ramp Up Campaign Targeting Voter Rolls
Calling themselves investigators, activists are using new data tools and disputed legal theories to urge officials to drop voters from the rolls.

I wouldn’t put it past him to do more this time to make sure he “wins” to avoid having to find votes after the election like last time. Hopefully if he tries something he will be caught before the election, not after. |
