    1. Stephen Miller is by far the most effective member of the Trump administration and has been the force behind many of its worst policies (Muslim ban, family separation, drawdown of refugee numbers). But he's also a surprisingly banal monster.

        2. I mean compare Miller with Bannon (permanently disheveled, grandiose, loving to compare himself to Lenin or to cite obscure proto-fascists) or Gorka (the Dragon of Budapest) or Trump himself (a shifty reality show star). Miller is colorless, dull.

        3. There's a temptation of many in the establishment (cough, cough Joe Biden cough) to see the whole Trump mess as an anomaly: a group of grifters and pirates hijacked the GOP & somehow won the presidency. Miller gives lie to this; he's a garden variety Republican.

        4. I wouldn't deny that in policy terms Miller has largely been a failure (as Greg suggests here). But he's also completely integrated the nativist faction of the GOP into the larger party in a way that wasn't true as recently as 2015.https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1163524434394787842 …

        eh, he's also a major failure -- his cruelty-as-deterrence policies have failed spectacularly, creating a massive political problem for Trump, and his prediction that Trump's immigration agenda would win in 2018 was buffoonishly wrong, even though no one ever talks about this

        That’s the worse kind. He uses Trump as his tool and mouth piece.

        And although his policies appear to be failing the blame will fall on @realDonaldTrump not on Miller.

        Two things can be true at once. Miller has been successful from the perspective of the immigration bureaucracy. But as a political strategist, he's achieved nothing and may even help his boss as well as the GOP lose the presidency and Senate.
