‘Ventriloquist Dummies for Donald Trump’ Charlie Sykes Edition

Charlie Sykes, author of "To the Contrary" on Substack, takes a brief respite from his typical doom-casting and end-of-days punditry to discuss: 

• Recent events in accountability karma: Alex Jones' asset liquidation, Steve Bannon's pending prison sentence, Salem Media dropping Dinesh D'Souza and much more!

• Were politicians always this bad? Probably, but there is a world where they don’t need to beclown themselves for Trump

• Heritage Foundation's shift from traditional conservatism to post-constitutional nationalism raises eyebrows

• Trump’s Groundhog Day on Capitol Hill … to talk strategy

• 2016 election and Trump’s very transactional nature with the pro-life movement

• Are there any lines that Trump can’t cross? The erosion of moral ground within the Republican Party

• What Day #1 of Trump 2.0 in office would look like

• Renting the #NeverTrump vote in 2024 

• The vice president is the one person Trump can’t fire
