Does anyone watch Tim Miller on The Bulwark podcasts?

In my opinion, he is very good at what he does. Although he was once a Republican, he is now a "Never-Trumper". He can compete with any right-wing podcast that is out there. This may be the new political method of communicating for the next election?

He does a lot of interviews and is very adept at posing interesting questions to his guests. I don't know the size of his audience but I'm pretty sure he is near the top in viewers. From time to time, he is on Nicolle Wallace's show on MSNBC and then he will replay it on his podcast. Perhaps it increases the audience for both of them?

In my opinion, Democrats should be looking at the podcasts as an important part of communicating for the next election.

they are thoughtful and intelligent with just the right dose of WTF sentiment mixed in

I agree with you that Dems should be coveting the podcast world and that is something that may help get more younger folk in the game. I simply think young people don't have the luxury of doing what previous generations have done - be far into adulthood before becoming politically aware. They have WAY TOO MUCH TO LOSE.

I laugh when he tries to give election or liberal advice. His falling for Biden is weekend at Bernies tells you who the target audience for Tapper's book was. Frankly he can put that subject to bed, please.

Susan's focus groups are frankly frightening.

And I find I am more a fatalist like JVL these days.

Wrong Again, Democrats: Paying "Influencers" Misses the Boat

Party insiders are spending millions to find the liberal Joe Rogan. How about perfecting the message before conducting a search for the perfect messenger?

I want him to write another book. From "Why We Did It":

"One big misconception about Washington is that money is the straw that stirs the drink. Activist types always demand we look to the money! Sometimes they are right, but the driving motivator for most during the Trump era was not a desire for riches. This town is not filled with Gordon Gekkos. More often, it's the other, more egocentric motivators that drive nefarious actions in D.C. Raising money remains important, but fundraising is really about status and power."

He's right, smart. So tired of the simplistic yelling how everything's about money, everyone's bribed and corrupt -- used to divide and attack Democrats.

Also Nicole Wallace. BUT.... The republican party before Trump was a shit hole too. In fact it longed to be what it is now but didn't think they would get away with it so took baby steps. And they were both so deep into it it's mind boggling. As you quoted, they were in it for something other than the money. What? And why? Did they think it was OK because the guard rails were in place to prevent the repukes from their true ambitions. Even though I like them, at the very least enablers and normalizers.

since his days working for Jeb. I agree with him about 90% of the time and I don't see much daylight between him and the Pod Save America crew, Keith Olbermann or Thom Hartmann.

and fan of the Bulwark - my favorites are Tim, JVL and Sarah - I have learned a lot from them about the inner workings of the republicans .
