Stuart Stevens: Republicans Are Desperate

The party has been busy playing defense in Trump states, and now comes the news that Susan Collins is corrupt on top of being a loyal MAGA supplicant. More Democrats should walk with Ossoff's swagger and keep their message simple: attack Trump on his corruption and the war. (And in colder climes, the price of heating oil.) Meanwhile, subpoenas over Trump Jr.'s Russian mobster-funded wedding are coming, and even some Republicans are likely to get on board. Plus: Ukraine is showing how to fight wars now and how the U.S. under Trump and Hegseth is not ready. And Tim keeps his promise and puts on a hair shirt after LSU's loss to Ole Miss.  **Stuart Stevens** joins Tim Miller. *show notes:* - ProPublica’s reporting on Susan Collins - Lauren on how Dems are dealing with the Republicans’ huge war chest - Tim’s interview with Wright Thompson last week - Stuart’s books, including “The Conspiracy to End America” and “The Last Season” - Stuart on performance-enhancing drugs - The Bulwark’s campaign to help the Haitian community of Springfield - The Bulwark store - Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/thebulwark for 50% off your first order today!
