The Lincoln Project • S01E05 • 2022

We built this thing.
We caught fire. You know, by September,
people are saying, well, what are you

asking us that. So this sort of, like, th-these heady, you know, sugarplums
dancing in your head... It's really, really easy to,
like, have everybody love you. I-I've never been in that
position before, right? You know? You know, your friends
calling, you know, and saying, "You guys are heroes," and I'm like,
that is ridiculous. Right? Um...
they don't do that anymore. [laughs] We're back to
being Republicans
