Politics feels broken.
Everyone has an opinion about who’s to blame, but I wanted to take a step back and ask a different question: how did we get here?
Tim Miller has seen American politics from the inside—as a Republican strategist, campaign operative, and now as one of the most influential independent political commentators in the country.
What I found most interesting wasn’t where Tim and I agreed or disagreed. It was his willingness to admit what he and much of Washington got wrong.
We talked about Trump, media, polarization, independent journalism, and whether our political system is still built for the world we’re living in today.
Whether you agree with Tim or not, I think you’ll come away with a better understanding of why politics feels so different than it did even a decade ago.
Give it a watch, and let me know where you think we got it right—or wrong.
