“I looked forward to this podcast when it was Schmidt and Plouffe. The Frank Luntz interview will be my last. Plouffe and Schmidt know how to interview and give the guest the opportunity to defend their positions. You let Luntz talk and he made a good deal of sense. Then after a gracious ending, you trash the guy. Frankly, it seemed like you were afraid of a confrontation and so your saved all your snarky comments for after he was gone. My impression from this podcast episode is that you are not interested in finding common ground. You’re speaking to a specific audience. If you had listened to Luntz, you’d have heard him talk about the danger of talking in an echo chamber. Everything you said about the unwillingness of the Republican Party to deal is true. But it does us no good to reinforce that with people on the left; in essence to give up. We need to find reasonable people on both sides who are willing to come together and find agreement. I will be unsubscribing from your podcast. Give it back to Steve and David.”
