Episode 17 - Electoral College

Electoral College. It is odd the way we elect the President in America. Colorado’s voting right now on Prop 13 -- the National Popular Vote.  Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge welcomes proponents and opponents.

First is Jesse Wegman, attorney/author of Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College. Jesse is also on the editorial board of the New York Times and contributed a dynamite column, The Radicalizer in Chief, which was part of the Times’ Sunday Feature, End Our National Crisis.

Bernard Goldberg is a renowned 14-time Emmy winner as journalist/broadcaster for CBS News, Fox News, and HBO.  Bernie recounts when Trump called him at home just to chat about the presidency. Check out www.bernardgoldberg.com and this dynamite interview about Bernie’s mother’s Denver, Colorado roots.

Colorado Inside Out star David Kopel is fired up and ready to go in an election year return to Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge.  David touts the benefits of voting for Colorado Props 116 and 117.  Professor Kopel is opposed though to Prop 113, the National Popular Vote, and he is not shy in telling us why.

We’ve got plenty of Trump-Biden debate analysis. We discuss what and who to vote for, and why. The ballot is easy for me in 2020. It’s simple man. I’m not voting in 2020 for any member of Trump’s party.  Our Troubadour Dave Gunders feels similarly and gives us his beautiful song titled, Simple Man. Enjoy.
