1. Good documentary. Aired: 04/10/18

Documents how much of Trump's rise was due to the collapse of the Republican Party.

2. If you follow politics, or you are a political junkie do not bother watching this.

It is nothing but old clips and sound bites of Trump supporters.

I did not learn anything new.

I did not see a single new clip.

It was a waste of 54 minutes.

This is nothing personal against you eppur_se_muova.

Just a warning to those who value their time.

3. Disagree. Not all are political junkies.

Frontline doesn't have the investigative punch it used to have since PBS decided it's safer not to step on anyone's partisan toes, but I followed the ObamaCare repeal fiasco in Congress pretty closely and still found this documentary interesting in that it told the inner story of how inept, clueless, and divided the Repubs really are.

4. I was warning those who are political junkies, like myself, not to watch.

I did not see, or learn anything new.
