on a limb

“I’m going to go out on a limb and say that we got more laughs than all those films combined.”

“Having been a real … wilderness for a long time, and feeling very out on a limb … to be considered part of a movement, at least at first, was exciting,” he recalls.

It was certainly going out on a limb to characterize the shooter as “MAGA” without any information supporting that, and new information we’ve seen since Monday makes the premise look flat wrong.

“The question is, does that reflect a genuine shift in policy sensibility and a readiness to really go out on a limb for a principled position? Or does that more reflect a sense of finger in the air and test the winds?”
