Three words that will make america great again. GUILTY as charged...

[treblelatrice]

Drunk? Maybe not, but MTG is definitely under the influence of stupidity.

[thegags]

Humiliation? These people don’t have access to that emotion.

David Frum’s comments are valid and Biden should NOT debate the traitorous insurrection and vile Trump. Trump does not deserve the respect of debating Biden for 2024 Presidential office.

We must never forget that saving our democracy is of most importance. That one topic affects all the others, equality, women’s rights, Corp greed, foreign policy … and then here comes the laughing … where actually does trump land in any of those topics . While he can’t talk about the insurrection without bringing up election denial.

David Frum is right on all of this. He is a good communicator as was his mother (a highly respected Canadian news reporter).

David Frum is the best, he really has a handle on this current Republican Party. I would love to see a lot more of him! His intelligent comments are what I to hear!

[EstherDavis-egiv]

Best explanation of who, what, when, where and why, we are watching this dumpster fire!!! Absolutely 💯

[robertlee]

David Frum is probably the smartest psychologically insightful political pundit.

[margaretwalsh]

He just described Tim Scott as Trump’s likely VP pick

[jameshay]

America’s Next Top Zero! I hope that phrase catches on!

[HeckleCat]

I agree, don't recognize Trump as being viable and ignore him completely. Don't give him his stage.

[PureAmericanUgly]

Imagine joining the military to honorably serve your country and you get stuck with Donald Diaper changing duty🇺🇸

[bluelupin]

Mr. From makes a whole lot of sense in this discussion.... from what's happening in the republican Congress to djt looking for a "zero" veep.
Informative perspectives.

[nickblood]

Debating trump is the equivalent of recognizing North Korea as a legitimate government

[USS-SNAKE-ISLAND]

"America's Next Top Zero" is a perfect way to call it.

[jimreadey]

5:35 I like how Frum changed his description of Trump from "elevated" to *"conspicuous, "* here... what a great word choice.

"When Conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they won't abandon Conservatism, they'll abandon Democracy "

David Frum Political Advisor to President Bush Jnr.

[janetmccusker]

Sheldon Whitehouse should be running for president also

[lesliezammit]

So Tim Scott might have a chance after all. Who would have thought?
