As an Englishman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Mona Charen is my idea of the best America can offer. She is brave, coherent, reasoned, decent and admirable. Great lady!

these interviews are actually compounding my disappointment because it's clear that EVERYONE in the political nucleus KNEW what was happening, they KNEW the consequences, they KNEW particular people's failings and susceptibility to corruption and their intoxication by power . . .and STILL did nothing meaningful.

Also listening to this it's clear how even last year, even now, the political establishment really didn't understand how much of this was engineered on the internet by folks like Bannon working with the alt-right and 4channers, to leverage trolling and make absolutely insane claims/attacks/etc. to bait out a response to them, and then using (the now made extra famous and constantly used by trump) strategy of turning to regular republicans and saying "she's saying this about you!". The uproar from those communities after the "basket of deplorables" comment was off the charts as they knew at that moment they'd won, and it will likely go down in history as the most consequential victory of the alt-right.

The problem for the Republican party is that Donald Trump is the logical end point of the people who were in the Republican party since the 1950s and 1960s. Let's start with the John Birchers. They had the power to exile them so they would have become useless and eventually a much smaller group but instead they kept them. Why? Because the John Birchers were willing to knock on doors. and would help their election efforts. The same could be said of Barry Goldwater, who famously said "Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue. Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. Moderation in the protection of liberty is no virtue; extremism in the defense of freedom is no vice." Well Donald Trump would tell you that he's defending liberty and therefore can and should be as extreme as he wants to be. But the problem the Republican Party has is that they have ideas that do not appeal to the general public, and therefore they have to find an alternate way to complete or stay in power. The bargain they and the evangelicals have made is to get into bed with Donald Trump.

Haven’t changed my feelings about Putin-never trusted him-, and have always had issues with free trade. There are many of us within the Democratic party who didn’t shift in our beliefs in response to Trump. We just knew a would-be dictator when we heard one. His opening authoritarian gambit was when he announced and called Mexicans rapists and murderers. Yet, those words helped draw tens of millions to him. It was a Rorschach test for having a moral compass.

How is it possible? when you don't pay they're the bills you don't pay the contractors, you don't pay the casino workers including maids, restaurant servers, etc. Who in the hell was he paying? Money goes through his hands like water. He spends it on himself, suits, jewelry for the wife to keep her quiet, entertainment, dining out, buying yachts and God knows what else but he doesn't pay his bills. I've always wondered where all his money went cause he made so much of it but never had any. 6 out of 9 businesses went belly-up. TWO of them TWICE! The man never learn a damn thing about business Anyway I knew from day 1 that he didn't have the character to be president. I knew he was nothing but CHAOS. So I was worried when he won (stole) the election in 2016 I'll never forget how obsessed he was with Kim Jong Yun. He said whenever the man walked into a room people stood up and clapped. Trump said that's what he wanted he said it would be the greatest admiration from his people. (He actually thought those north Koreans had a choice)

Trump’s presidential announcement was the beginning of the end for the relationship I was in at the time. We watched it on TV together, and I remember turning to my SO to tell him how horrible and crazy Trump was, and how he would tear the country apart if he were elected…except his facial expression told me he agreed with Trump’s words. I could not believe it. We actually argued about it, and how he felt about Mexicans, and Hispanics in general came out. I had no idea. Within a week we had broken up. It may seem like an extreme reaction but, I’m Black and he’s first generation Latvian-American. It made no sense to me, particularly with our personal stories but, racism can exist in anyone.

Ms. Charen is so well spoken, informed and insightful, that I found this interview so meaningful, and I am not a Republican or conservative. I think that speaks volumes about the role that fine journalism can play in a democracy and in this country -- that people of high principle and strong work ethic, interested in the role of the press as it is designed (i.e., to bring out what is occurring, regardless of what/who it reveals), are important servants to the country. I am thankful for such service . . .

delightfully knowledgable, reasonably balanced, Mona Charen has mastered language, in a way that explains complex, multi layered issues, in ways, that make it easier to understand. when relating to citizens, i wonder what could replace "ordinary", or by royalty, "commoners", when referring to members of the public! really appreciated, thank you.

The electoral college is a farce in this day and age. Land doesn’t vote, people do, it was part of the aristocracy from Europe trying to rebuild a sense of fairness in America to the Rural people. It was when information travelled slowly and the rural people could easily be left out. While I’m not saying that doesn’t happen, the system has been gamed and manipulated to where the minority can essentially win the vote and impose their ideals on the larger urban and suburban populations. Unfortunately, this correlated to less educated and open-minded voters being used or by choice to both, create laws antithetical to their own best interests and against the more left leaning city people (again, not because it benefits them, or would even affect them, but HURTS the other). Voters in Nebraska or Mississippi hold more voting power than I do on the west coast. They have inadvertently (mostly) allowed themselves to become victims of their own policy, while supporting politicians and fascist judges to hurt the blue regions… who by the way… quite literally provide all the welfare for most red states via the federal system. The electoral college needs to go and you will see the quality of life rise for everyone in the whole country…. Even if some regressives want to bring us back 50+ years.

@Exculpatory Shōgun OH, I see. Like Hillary conceding the next MORNING after the election? Outrageous! Or like Biden counting the votes after the electoral college without Hillary's voters threatening to hang him? Or like Obamas, Bidens, Bushes, and Clintons ALL attending Trump's inauguration? Outrageous betrayal of democratic norms!

Trump has been using the phrase rigged/cheated ever since The Apprentice, when it didn't receive an Emmy Award

I have never heard such a wise, thoughtful Republican. I didn't think they existed. Credit to you Mona. If Republicans were like you we'd be able to argue rationally about indifferences of opinion in tax policy or abortion.

Mona, I did so enjoy listening to you speak. Hinging on each word with seemingly not one out of place. Your knowledge and your frankness is quite refreshing. You would probably be a great person to have lunch with, and just talk about everything. Thank you so very much young lady. Love and gratitude.

Brilliant woman ! very knowledgeable on her subjects. Always informative and insightful commentary ! Two thumbs up !and good to the last drop !

Mona Charon is very astute in her thoughts about Trump, the modern-day republican party and the last 2 elections, do not see anything she said that was wrong. It's very refreshing to hear a republican speak sanity and truth, just wish there is more like her, we need this to repair the damage that is still ongoing in our democracy.

From across The Pond. Had never heard of Mona Charen before this interview and no wonder... She REALLY DOES describe modern America. Stay safe Mona, your sound.

After almost a decade of this nonsense, this is one of the best takes I have heard. Dispassionately eloquent, yet highly aware of the situation. Looking forward to seeing more of this pundit as the civil war develops. Much respect!

She is a real bright lady, very articulate. Best interview overall and above other regarding the little prince without his shorts😖

These longform Frontline interviews are wonderful.

Sensational interview! Thank you!

Ecellent interview. Thank you.

Great interview. Hard to believe that Mona is a modern day conservative. She is thoughtful and speaks honestly. Attributes most conservatives in 2024 don’t practice.

Principle and clarity is a powerful combination.

That was astonishingly informative. I didn't think I still had an attention span but that was good to the last drop. Riveting, edge of the seat stuff.

What an eye opening candid interview which should be viewed by all Crime Lord Trump supporters, regardless of whcih party they belong to., Interviews like this should be required viewing by anyone who truly loves this countiry.

Mrs Charen's insights are clear and well articulated. Thanks for conducting this series of interviews.

Thank you for sharing your point of view, and being so candid and honest about your take on things. I am curious though... with most of our country’s representatives only looking for the vote, running around power grabbing and stroking their own egos, trying to be first - what about "We The People..." Does anyone have us and the betterment of our country on their minds??

This series from Frontline is an invaluable tool of learning for those like myself who are history perverts and armchair scholars. Yes there is overlap in the questions and anecdotal pieces but the chronology is the same for all of these people furthermore there are sweet vignettes of personal experience that put flesh on the bones of the timeline. Very good interviewing and interviewees especially for me Frank Luntz. I am British and compared to our history the USA's history is very recent but my word! You have packed so much in and the history of the USA is a smorgasbord of gripping events. Bravo Frontline, Bravo and good luck USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸

My god, it's going to take more than luck to rid ourselves from toxic trump. Everyone has got to get out and vote. VOTE BLUE AMERICA, VOTE BLUE. We can not let trump to ever enter the Oval Office again. That's for leaders. trump has never been a leader. He's a pathetic excuse for even being called a man. He's a creature. He's definitely been a creature of habit. Look what illegal activities he's done over and over. Now he's finally going to be held accountable. My god, the world is waiting. The world held there breath in 2020. On Facebook for about a week, we were getting comments from all over the world. They were congradulating America for voting for President Joe Biden. The biggest question I had to answer was how on earth did trump win in 2016. I'd tell them we didn't. trump had putin interfere. And trump and pigpen stole the Oval Office. They said we would get the news about America and we thought the American people were idiots. Lol. I have to agree there's numerous idiots in America. Many think I'm the idiot because I back President Joe Biden all the way. His leadership helps me sleep at night. I was hospitalized in 2018. I was told I'd had several mini strokes which added up to two strokes. Two specialists said stop watching anything regarding trump. My Dr. told me the same thing. I was actually throwing up after watching his rallies. I cut myself off for days here and there. My Dr. said is he worth dying for. My god I realized he wasn't joking. I had gone on Facebook everyday, I was trying to educate them on who and what trump was. It wore me down and I got some pretty nasty texts. I'm taking it easy now. Hopefully I am.

I agree with you this series of interviews is invaluable. I was glued to my laptop on Jan6. I'm an independent thinker, mostly Dem, but need to hear all the Rs possible who objected to Trump's behavior. I've been appreciating the repetition of some questions, which gave viewers the benefit of hearing more than one opinion of the same experience / question, and gave credence to the validity of their observations as not someone's personal opinion.

This is among the most damning political documentaries I have ever seen.

When Trump said "frankly we did win this election" and only the in person ballots had been counted, I knew our democracy would soon be over.

This interview is one of the few that enabled me to expand my understanding of the right (former) Point of view. Went on a little long but I made it through. Very good interview.
