I do not deny that as it happens, it _is_ an act that takes a little courage. But it really, really *shouldn't* , should it? Do you see how that is the sign of a party completely consumed from the ground up with authoritarianism? So, let's pat this guy on the back but not act like he's a saint or Joan of Arc....the people who have been trying to warn you *ALL ALONG* all this time going back 20 years had a lot more courage, and you probably sneered at them and called them 'traitors'. Or know folks that did. Which should bear reflection.
As a liberal my hackles rise at some of what the congressman says but i wholeheartedly agree that we can work out our differences if Trump and the cultist are defeated.
I feel the same. In the grand scheme, he is relatively benign, but he still perpetuates a lot of the mythology about the old Republican Party, which-let’s face it-would not have led to Trump if it had been that good a thing. And the “Saint Ronnie” crap makes my eyes roll back so far that you can only see the whites for a moment. As I’ve already pointed out in other comments (some versions of which got taken down, for reasons I don’t understand), that “witty quote” that he attributed to Reagan was actually a distortion of something Walter Mondale uttered ABOUT Reagan and TO Reagan when they had their first debate in 1984 (in which Reagan gave a performance that was universally acknowledged as lackluster and after which Reagan made remarks about how Mondale only seemed younger and more energetic because of the amount of make-up he wore-classy).
Same! But I left a couple years before that. Just after the start of Obama’s second term, I took it upon myself to read through the ACA. I’m lucky enough to understand legalese and realized all the bad, scary stuff I’d been told was a lie. I asked my self-proclaimed Christian niece why she’d “bear false witness” and she was unapologetic. I don’t understand the thought process!
I’m a lefty left leftist and I honestly never thought there were any Republicans (at least not in recent decades) that I could sit and have a rational conversation with, but Tim is changing my mind, and introducing me to some Republicans who, I think, I could, at least, have a reasonable conversation with. They don’t seem insane. The Bulwark is becoming one of my favourite podcasts.
I'm a Center Independent and I feel the same way. Every True Trumper WILL NOT EVEN LISTEN TO ME. reason has no effect on them. Logical people have already switched to Independent or Libertarian.
This guy gives off some weirdo republican vibes. I think his support for Harris is pure political calculation and not a matter of conscience. Even so, doing the right thing for less than the right reason still deserves credit.
Mine too. And, I never miss any broadcast with Tim. My beloved deceased brother was gay and Tim reminds me of him in so many ways... especially his irreverent since of humor.
Who will Trump, Vance & maga attack next? AZ & GA targeted in 2020 because someone didn't win. Our capital building attacked. Springfield Ohio targeted with bomb threats because of ugly racist hate & lies.
Inglis agrees that you may have differences but you can sit down at the table and discuss them like a ' rational ' person to come to a compromise. That's what Senator Lankford did with the immigration Bill. MAGA are NOT rational people though.
It really shouldn’t be considered heroic to speak out against the kind of threat a trump/vance administration would bring US. The bar has been lowered so far it’s almost on the ground. 💙🇺🇸Harris/Walz🇺🇸💙
@@daughterofbob-d5r Very good point. Calling this guy or even the Cheneys, Kinzinger or Duncan "heroes" gives the rest of the magaT complacents who didn't do a damn thing to challenge Trump a free pass. It sugar coats the horrendous and appalling state of the republican party. Don't call the few that did their jobs in stepping forward "heroes". Call out 99.999999% of them who still are either actively or complacently following behind Trump's march to destroy democracy. One can be sympathetic to those put in a position to choose between supporting Trump or losing their job. But that sympathy runs out when those same people put the country in the position of losing its democracy!!
As Liz Cheney clearly stated, there are many Republicans that are horrified with the Orange Antichrist, but are afraid to publicly acknowledge it, not only because it might cause them their careers but also due to the constant and ever increasing barrage of attacks and death threats, or they stop at stating that they won’t vote for Trump, but won’t endorse Kamala Harris either, as in the case of Mitt Romney…
Thank you sir, for not only coming out against Donald Trump but for vocally supporting Kamala Harris and Tim walz . It's truly well and past time for all sane Americans to turn the page on Trump and Maga! And thank you for fighting on behalf of planet Earth and the environment as well
Thank you, sir😊 I went to a rally last Friday in Springfield MO. for Lucas Kunce running against Josh Hawley for Senator & it was PACKED! People are leaving the republican party & sick to death of trump.💙💙💙💙
God I hope you're right. I don't have the optimism you do, but boy do I hope you are right. When the crazies started dominating primaries it was so demoralizing.
@@bobwallace9753 I think this is likely, because there is no longer any room for them in the GOP. The only way I see them 'reclaiming' the GOP is if the cult completely collapses and the cultists wind up purged from the party..
Bob was primaried out of the GOP in 2010 by none other than Trey Gowdy. He stepped up with a market-based policy to address climate change and then was blown out of the water in a landslide. And yet he's remained a true gentleman devoted to doing what's right. He blazed the trail for Liz and Adam.
Thank you, this is such an important message. Moral character, honor & conduct matter in our elected leaders. Proud Texan, conservative Christian and patriot putting Country over a Republican party that has lost its moral compass - voting ALL BLUE. ✝️🇺🇸🧢🧢🧢 Country over party. 🇺🇸🧢 We will not bear good fruit in our country with a leader who lacks moral character.
It is great to hear these conversations. Tim, I would love to see a conversation with one of these Republicans who have stood up and endorsed Kamala Harris with a Trump supporter. For example, my Iowan parents have been lifelong Republicans and are supporting Trump but I don’t think he is in line with their values. It would be interesting to see a conversation with someone like them so that these Republican officials can answer their questions and speak to them from a place of common ground .
Bob, thank you so much for continuing to serve your Country and being a sane voice of a hijacked Republican Party. At this point, if I had to, I’d vote for a sane Republican over a crazy person running as a Democrat. Thank you for showing us all how we can come together for a bigger cause and the for the bigger picture of democracy!
Im eternally glad to see that there are good people out there who I can fundamentally disagree with on nearly every political issue, but still respect deeply.
I’m living in Upstate SC. This is HUGE! When I moved here Trey Gowdy was my Congressperson 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. I’m a Democrat. Very very hard to get elected here as a Democrat. Wish this guy would run again for SC04 congressperson. At least if we HAD to have GOP he’d be decent.
Republicans speaking up and supporting Harris/Walz ticket are undoubtedly heroes, and I hope there is a takeaway for so much of America’s single issue voters
Put that one-minute pitch to the undecided republican up separately on the site and allow users to download so they can send to republican family and friends who are undecided along with the ones who simply don't like him or his "character" Absolutely perfect
I’m independent, voting for Harris/Walz. I agree that all that Kamala WANTS to do might not be possible, but, they’re points for discussion and compromise. Let’s get her in and then work, across party lines, to get our beloved country moving in the right direction.
Voting conservative when you’re concerned about the economy is absolute lunacy with the record of conservative governments over the last 50 years. The first time home buyers assistance won’t inflate housing prices unless every single person shopping in the market is a first time homebuyer. There’s also a housing shortage which does far more to drive the market price. I love people who play economist. I’m glad he’s on the right side of the election and the bigger issue of climate change though.😊
When Tim brought up the fact young republicans are both MAGA and want action on the climate crisis. I agree with the congressman’s statement “It’s also terrifying “
My new favorite republican!! What a cool guy, and so glad you invited him to speak, Tim. Really like what he said about policy (this stuff gets ironed out) and character(this is the thing you're stuck with)! Great interview, thoughtful questions... Thank you, Tim!
I went to a Mega Church in Atlanta one time and the Associate Pastor Anthony said that if your a Democrat God didn’t love you. I’ll never step in to another church in my life.
If any Republican ever wants to be able to voice their views again then they need to VOTE BLUE💙… they don’t have to like every thing that Harris is offering but with her they will be able to voice their concerns and work on change. VOTE BLUE 💙
Any Republicans with the courage to endorse Kamala Harris should not be forgotten. They deserve appreciation. They are real American Patriots.
They all get much more courageous when they are no longer able to make a legislative difference.
I do not deny that as it happens, it _is_ an act that takes a little courage. But it really, really *shouldn't* , should it?

They have a lot of different reasons. Shouting for the fire brigade after the house burned down.
@@asynchronicityNot Adam. Not Liz. Cost them both their jobs.
AGREED! REMEMBER THEM
As a liberal my hackles rise at some of what the congressman says but i wholeheartedly agree that we can work out our differences if Trump and the cultist are defeated.
Yes, the condescending dude can stay and recruit his friends. We'll have time to work on his attitude after we join forces & defeat the fascists.
You are not alone. Other than a few things, most of what he said was awful.
I feel the same. In the grand scheme, he is relatively benign, but he still perpetuates a lot of the mythology about the old Republican Party, which-let’s face it-would not have led to Trump if it had been that good a thing.

Thanks for airing GOP people standing up to Trump. The more airtime given to Republicans with character the better.

This was such a pleasure to listen to. I applaud you, Tim, for seeking out Republicans who have chosen country over party. Thank you!
Tim, I really liked what Rep. Bob Inglis had to say. Thank you👏👏👏👏👏
Takes fortitude to be a republican, elected no less and speak out. Kudos Mr. Inglis!
Elected? No.
Good for the Former Congressman.
The more I see of this, the happier I am to see that the Republicans may have hope of reclaiming its party.
They might can't see to many of them change
Or we may see a new right of center party emerge. One free of the extreme hate that has poisoned the Republican party.
Hope?@@jeanhendersonharley3228

over politics, you are a patriot! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes a clear and present danger , tell it like it is congressman .
I totally agree that character is the most important quality in a leader and Rep.Inglis is an extremely thoughtful man.

The "Country over Party" fits nicely on a T-shirt. 😮

Kudos, Mr. Inglis!
Vote the whole ballot blue!

His closing words were excellent…the idea that some people, especially younger, think this is all we deserve.
He had a good point there.
I like this man...not everything...but he had me at sick puppy. That's from my youth 💙
Wow! Another sensible person!
Tim can you please call out Lindsey Graham? I’m sick and tired of his flip flop self indulgent crap. Time for Lindsey to take a side. Stop straddling.
Tim talked to Lindsey Graham after the debate and talked about it here! He’s made his feelings known here and to Lindsey Graham’s face 😅
Watch the video from today of Tim Miller and Bill Kristol. Near the end, Tim goes off on Lindsay Graham.
I've lost respect for Graham. What makes him think he has the right to interfere with other states' elections. Man up and mind your own damn business.
Agreed Graham is shameful. It's amazing these people are going to be gone and remembered as liars that didn't give a damn about their constituents
"Straddling?" Lindsay Graham? Hardly. He has been solidly in camp Trump for quite a while.

Thank you 🙏 Facts are the truth to the real power. You are an Honourable man.
I sincerely love this…
Character is destiny. Finally seeing it linked to rationality. Next morality will become discovered again
Well put
When I see young maga voters, I look at them with curiosity. What has happened in their young lives to make them so racist?
It is passed down from generation to generation in the south of this country.
And angry! And in many cases misogynistic.
Missing or too many genes within their genome bc their parents being brother and sister! 🤦🏻♀️
They learned it at home.
Not just the south. Republicans in the northeast are just as racist.
I love this guy!

I'm not sure those are the same people. Tim is talking about stats. Bob is talking about individuals.
