      I judge him based purely on the fact that he worked to put Trump in the White House - which would have been about four years after me, a bum sitting on his sofa, knew Trump was a worthless sack of shit.
      And that's really the elephant in the room that this podcast is like the 600th to fail to properly address: How did these supposedly intelligent people with purported integrity get there in the first place? Just letting him off with "Oh, I had an ego": Not good enough.

      Thanks for the info. Funnily enough to my 'english' ears his 'cadence' sounded remarkedly pleasant and crystal clear with his insights, however unfavourable to Trump, seemed credible and relevant to the point under discussion. And top marks IMHO for eschewing the politicians obsession with 'Leaders' and raising the level of discussion to idendity versus performance politics.

      Very bright? I can't say that about anybody who thinks working for an obviously crazy man was a good idea. The bizarre thing he said in public about Bannon, while it goes to a set of morals first, was a stupid thing to say.
      I'm listening to this while I'm writing this, and he just said that donnie doesn't know how to hire people-- that gives Tony a point back.
      If I were considering working for anybody as well known as donnie, I'd do some checking on his background.... and donnie has plenty of *public* background to look at!
      It's also stupid, (especially at this time before an election), to put down Biden in any way! Putting down Biden makes donnie look a little better. *We don't need that!* Dang, why does he keep putting Biden's looks down?! Who cares what Biden looks like?! Irrelevant and petty!
      It's really minor, but I seriously wonder about people who worked in a place like the Whitehouse and don't know how to pronounce a high profile figure's name like "Kushner!" And good grief, the woman explained how to pronounce her name, it's "CALM-a-law," not "KAM-a-la."
      (I think my IQ goes down after listening to Tony.)
      Added: "PS" This host also shouldn't be putting Biden down.

The lies prevent millions of people from knowing the truth. Millions of people do not know that they are voting against their own interests. With the lies he is also stealing the future and quality of life of millions of Americans. Treason coup attempt,
      Planning the murder of M. Pens,
      Tax fraud, Large-scale fraud and sexual abuse, Children separating from their parents,
      Threatening and expelling Party members from the Party.
      Threatening judges, wives and children with bombs,
      Everything is false about Trump. When is it enough to not be able to become President? With what heinous act can Trump no longer become President. He wanted to have it done by Navy Seals 6. Has J. Biden got any luck now?😮

      He is at least the first to admit, there's no way they were colluding with Russians. With Paul Manifort, the volunteer campaign manager who was just working with Dems and Ukraine, leading. I wonder why there was infighting? He claimed Trump is anti-American, while doing exactly what the other left personalities are pushing. The American Democracy. There's a reason they keep using that word. When our forefathers were vehemently against democracy. Hence that word is never used, even once, in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. They know we are not a Democracy. Sixteen minutes in and it's been used four times. It's obvious by the overuse of it. It's basic psychology, used in an unsuspecting way. He's good...but not that good.

Someone whose experience of the American dream they could identify with in full knowledge that it would never be on Clinton's menu never mind being delivered. No takeaways for them.
