Not particularly shocking, given Trump's track record over the past 4 years, but maybe this will peel another few hundred thousand Trump 2016 voters. I hope this gets significant airplay over the upcoming months.

This is probably the best. Not gimmicky, not trying to be funny, no satire, no flag-waving, just... well, it's worth a watch.

They're not flashy, they don't attack with the same ferocity and they don't try and shock you.

They are targeted not at an 'Audience of One' like TLP's, but aimed at getable soft Republicans. They interview former Trump-voting Republicans and calmly allow them to explain why they can no longer support the maniac, thereby giving like-minded Republicans an exit ramp without feeling like voting for a Democrat would be the end of the world.

Brilliant strategy and very well executed.

that this whole RepubliCon party has done. Stuffed their own pockets, gotten their "minority-fed" agenda passed, and they ride home free, covering their own rich a$$es by following the country's worst "president" in history!

Although I appreciate that anyone can have an epiphany... it's funny that so many Repugs have seen the light lately.

Could they be trying to keep their careers alive post-trump?

"People who are still serving in this administration have said to me... Just wait until the 2nd term. It will be no holds barred. It'll be shock and awe. We'll do what we want."

And there it is, the alleged Americans serving under Traitor tRump are nothing more that fascist traitors themselves. The response Miles Taylor got was not that Traitor tRump was ever going to get any better. They are just waiting for the election to go full totalitarian and rip any and all safeguards left in place anywhere in America, which means a full crackdown on the media and all courts as well. The Traitor tRump Administration and the Republican Party are planning a take over to make the United States of America the most anti-American version it can and re-write everything, including history.

I'm positive that is the truth! I've been arguing with myself, all the damn time, asking what will I do if the election for whatever reason goes to that JA? I honestly don't know. I'm too damn old to leave the Country.

A second term by Trump will destroy this country.

He must be stopped. Vote as if your life depends on it, because it DOES.
