Finally. We recorded this show right after the networks declared Biden the winner.

With only 48 days to the election, today's podcast is all about the election, with special guest Matt Robison, a former Democratic congressional staffer, campaign manager, and blogger. Among the topics, Bloomberg's $100m he's spending on Florida and how it will help; why Biden needs to get way more than 270 electoral votes to ensure victory; why the Woodward book is an even bigger problem for Trump than the Atlantic story ("suckers" and "losers"); and much more. This is one of our free episodes....
Donald Trump is a murderer. The shocking -- yet, somehow not unexpected -- revelations from Bob Woodward's new book prove that the blood of tens of thousands of Americans is on Trump's hands. Today's episode is all about Woodward's book and Trump's refusal to prepare our country for the Coronavirus' onslaught, even though Trump knew in early February that it could kill over one hundred thousand Americans, and was far worse than the flu. Among the topics: What did Woodward find; what did Trump ad...
Today's show is all about polls. Can we trust them, should we trust them, what actually happened in 2016, what do the polls tell us about the upcoming November election (including the fact that Biden is doing remarkably well with traditional GOP voters, and that Biden is winning in most swing states), and might the polls (with the help of mail-in ballots) put Trump in a position to claim an election night victory even if he lost. We also discuss the bombshell Atlantic story about Trump calling t...

Today we do a deep dive into the first night of the insanity that was the Republican National Convention. Our special guest is Chicago Tribune humorist Rex Huppke. Yeah, so, it was pretty hateful all around. In addition to have a necessary laugh about just how bad it was, we also discuss whether Trump's apparent strategy to appeal to the base even makes sense. Then we end with a discussion of the latest on the Coronavirus. That's a short description for a rather long show. Hope you enjoy. This i...
