Description

This week's show has a rare note of agreement with our MAGA focus group participants. In Louisiana, Bill Cassidy is running for re-election to the Senate, and trying to pass himself as a MAGA true believer, even though after January 6 he voted to bar Donald Trump from office forever. Our Republican focus groups know he's full of it, and so does Tim Miller who joins the show this week. Tim and Sarah also discuss Republican voters' recent Strange New Respect for Marco Rubio, JD Vance's falling stock, and whether Republicans have an appetite for a future Donald Trump, Jr. candidacy.

I'm with Tim on listening to "idiots" talk about politics. Unapologetic. Hats off to Sara.

Voting to impeach after J6 was neither brave nor challenging. It’s literally the bare minimum for democratic integrity. When the bar is set to subterranean depths, nobody should be applauded for clearing it—especially if they immediately dive back beneath it with the rest of their mole men.

There's literally NO Republicans that I could even think of having any respect for except for the ones that have been exiled from the party.

Listening to these MAGA focus group voters is shocking and terrifying. If these views are representative of even moderate numbers of people in these states we are in very big trouble.

I'm a genX mom of 3 adults and I'll go to my grave believing the Reagan dumbing down of America plan along with citizens united primarily led straight to our democratic downfall.

It's scary to listen to these people who have no idea of the harm this administration is doing to this country and the world.
