Super Tuesday

BTL #341 - Super Tuesday (w/ Guest Carla Nordstrom) - 3/9/20

BTL #341 - Super Tuesday (w/ Guest Carla Nordstrom) - 3/9/20

This week on the podcast, we’ve been hearing so much about the 1968 Democrats that we brought our own boomer onto the show to relive that time and discuss how it compares to now. Plus, updates on our Senate 2020 project, thoughts on how to move on from the crushing blow of Super Tuesday, and one area in which we definitely did win: Chris Matthews is gone!

BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19

BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19

This week on the podcast, two major points: Liz Warren should stay in the race for president come hell or high water, and we must NEVER, EVER, NEVEREVER vote for Michael Bloomberg. Don’t speak it, don’t think it, don’t justify it. That and, of course, updates on New Hampshire, the race as it stands, Tuesday’s DOJ massacre, and so much more.

BTL #201 - Quit Your Bickering - 5/17/16

This week on BLT...it's chaos at the Nevada Democratic Convention!  Sit-ins, security, fleeing...all the best kinds of excitement!  Plus, we've got election results from West Virginia and Nebraska, a week of Donald Trump trying to figure out how to be a frontrunner (answer: insist that you're very smart but don't confirm anything else), and SCOTUS updates from the a newly 4-4 court!  Apparently their new strategy is to stop making rulings until we can break the stalemate.  All that plus the intersection of politics and gossip like you've never experienced it before!  Welcome to Rep. Grayson v. Sen. Reid, the ultimate battle.  It's yet another week of glory, so don't miss it!

This week on BTL...we've got yet another Super Tuesday coming up, this time starring Pennsylvania.  (Cue the moment we figure out that the Pennsylvania primary laws are legitimately undemocratic.)   Then follow us through a rundown of the upcoming year's best Senate races - it's not even June and already it's drama as far as the eye can see in several key races!  Plus we have the beginning of Veepstaes 2015, the latest on the New York primary results and election fraud accusations, the week in news about 90 year-olds, and so much more!

BTL #193 - A Hashtag Plan Doesn't Make You #Blessed - 3/21/16

This week on BTL, we say goodbye to our favorite third-place winner, #LittleMarco Rubio.  After what can only be described as a totally predictable and fully expected loss in his home state of Florida, Rubio leaves the title of "Cuban" to Sen. Ted Cruz.  Also leaving the race is Rubio's ambition to ever serve in public office again.  See ya never Private Citizen Rubio!  Luckily the Rubio-less GOP has a foolproof plan to defeat Trump.  It involves claiming that they have a plan to defeat Trump and starting the hashtag #NeverTrump and the only thing you need to know about it is that it's totally going to work.  Right?  RIGHT?!  And then there's some non-election news for once.  Can you imagine?!  Remember those days?  Take a walk down memory lane with us!  All that and tons more this week on a new BTL podcast!

BTL #191 - The Euphamism - 3/7/16

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, all hell breaks loose in the GOP primary in an ever-mounting flurry of desperate party maneuvers and bizarre Donald Trump quotes.  Christ Christie has been kidnapped and cannot be saved so let's not worry about him anymore, but is anybody going to tell Rubio that his time might be up?  Also, a rowdy Democratic Debate in Flint, MI, election results from all the "super" election days a person could ask for, CPAC, Ted Cruz's booger-eating, and so much more!  How is it possible that every week tops the last?  We're exhausted, you guys, but we do it all for you!

BTL #190 - The Fruit Salad of Life - 2/29/16

BTL #190 - The Fruit Salad of Life - 2/29/16

This week on an all-new BTL, Donald Trump's Nevada blowout saw him promising that he's going to bring us “so much everything” when he’s president.  If "everything" involves more of his accidental slam poetry, then we're in.  If it involves more racism, however, we're not.  Will update.  Plus, Thursday's GOP Debate was more bananas than ever and showed an emerging trend in the GOP field: campaigning exclusively via insult comedy.  (Policy proposals are so 2015.)  Also, anybody who’s anybody in whatever the opposite of MENSA is endorsed Donald Trump this week, Clinton had a BLOWOUT win in South Carolina,  and Super Tuesday is upon us!  (All signs point to Texas is proving once again that it can’t be trusted.)  Then there's the NY Times' sudden Clinton takedown, some intelligentsia speculation that for once isn't about Beyonce, and the newest kind of militia to look out for in the post-Bundy world: toddlers.  It's yet another week for the books and we have it all here!
