      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 …

          Replying to @HeerJeet
          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

          Or Biden et al. think the Congress GOP will drift back toward the "center" out of some kind of self interest should a charming get things done kinda (white) guy like Uncle Joe become president. Which, I mean, good luck with that.

          Exactly, they will still listen to their base and I'm sure that if a Democrat wins the Tea Party will be back but with a mix of Proud Boys.

          Perhaps in appearance and mannerism, but in full-throated endorsement of white supremacist hyperbole, I don't any of the others match him. Rhetorically, I don't know if any are worse.

          Miller is still a freak (Hoover Institute style California libertarian). Somewhere in America there is a thoughtful small c conservative Rockefeller Republican with her head in her hands wondering where it all went wrong.

          Sir, you severely delude. Yourself. Nixon, Reagan, Bushes Pere and fil were all Republicans. Miller is a militant hater. Authoritarian scum, in fact a Nazi. He’s serious. He’d pull a trigger on an unarmed man.
