Don’t let them win

“I learned more in the podcast about the filibuster than I learned in college. And I took classes in poly-sci. But Steve needs to come back. Don’t let the anti cancel culture party cancel you. I am hoping that most of TLP’s supporters, big and small, stand by them. It seems to be going that way despite what the media is trying to sell us. The Hill declared TLP dead already. But the media loves to eat their young. They love cancel culture. They do it to themselves. They build people up into God like status and then give wall to wall coverage when someone isnt perfect. Because this was always going to happen. No one is perfect and trumpers were just waiting for a weakness to exploit. Yes, it was a big one but really the media is focusing on the money stuff more than the stuff with one of the founders. That’s because they know that he was ejected. And there was no way to spin that into “they all knew and were ok with him doing what he did” -at least for anyone that thinks for themself. But the money stuff and be exaggerated and speculated about endlessly. I do wish that Steve hadn’t aired his dirty laundry with Jennifer Horn on Twitter. But he apologized and seemed sincere which is not what we are used to. I hope that they can reconcile someday. But when you boil it down, TLP is accused of having a founder that was a preditor-which seems to be true. Now he is gone and they vow to change the culture of the work environment. Great. Let’s do that. So then....they are accused of what else exactly? Paying themselves with money sent to them in a PAC which by design doesn’t have to be spent a certain way or disclosed. The people on top of any organization make more than the people on the bottom. It’s not fair but its the way things are everywhere. And if TLP says it’s going to change that and be transparent and have a more diverse leadership-great-even better. No one could’ve predicted that Trump himself would propel TLP to raising millions of dollars. Their donors were never told they were feeding the poor or curing the sick with the money. They were told that they would get in Trumps head with ads they knew he would watch AND it worked. He reacted in public to it. Priceless! Literally. Not because I’m evil and I like to torment people but because I’ve been tortured with every thought in his head all over TV and the internet for 5 years. Even and especially when trying to avoid him. They never said they would convert republicans into democrats. Although it happened in my case because Jennifer and Tara really made me look at myself and what I stand for. I was hoping the Republican Party would self correct after Trump but Jan 6th and the efforts to suppress the votes in so many states show that they aren’t the party of ideas. They are the party of outrage. And white grievance. So on top of getting to Trump and his enablers, TLP founders put out multiple podcasts and appeared on multiple others and many TV shows. This is valuable content that people are willing to pay for especially during a pandemic, a reckoning with racism and a very stressful election season...when we are dying for new content and destructions. We got what was advertised and more. It’s not ignoring something and hoping it gets swept under the rug. It’s owning up to mistakes and fixing them. It’s character. It’s strength. All we wanted was former republican operatives to use the dirty tricks they used to use against democrats and to fight fire with fire but we actually got much more. TLP held our hands through Election Day and all that followed. Explaining everything and telling us the TRUTH even when it was hard to hear. Because that’s what people need-the truth and someone telling them what their options are. It makes us feel better than hearing lies to protect us like “it will all disappear like a miracle”. In fact there IS still truth in the world and people can feel it when someone is being sincere. I stand with TLP and especially Steve because I feel that he is sincere in wanting to fix his and their mistakes. But even if I’m wrong, it’s better than the alternative which is waiting for democrats to do what they’ve always done and hope the outcome changes. That’s no good. Of course they want TLP to go away. Don’t let them win.”

“THESE TWO GUYS!!Seriously, if they put out a new episode twice a day I would listen to it. It’s also heartening to hear these two experienced political operatives coming together for a common cause. Well worth your time!”

“Excellent. Mr Schmidt,I have to ask, what is your plans in the future? Will you try to rebuild the Republican Party? It seems the bones are pretty week in the structure. If it was not for Trump I would never have listened to many of the republican strategists and I must say I’m very pleased...”Read full review »
