Episode description

Pod Save America’s Jon Lovett slammed the Democratic Party’s leadership void, telling Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee, “We haven’t made another figure with Barack Obama’s popularity. We are paying dearly for the fact that Joe Biden basically left the bully pulpit empty.” Praising Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as leaders who understand “this is about attention,” he criticized the party’s lack of vision, asking, “Once everybody can have healthcare, what’s the next thing?” In contrast, Trump, he said, “declares something that’s not happening must be stopped” and then “claims victory.” And Joanna offers her verdict on giggling Hillary Clinton and reports from the Trump show in Washington D.C.
