Summary

Whatever happens tonight, Never Trumpers and voters should be proud that we rose to the challenge of Trump—and that a majority of Americans see through this fraudster.

David Frum joins Tim Miller.

You know, we have lived through a very dramatic decade in American politics, and so much

has happened, including an attempted insurrection against the United States government.

But I think when we look back on it,
