Some quick mid-week reactions to the shocking results of the 2016 presidential election, complete with a range of thoughtful pauses, inappropriate laughter, wistful sighs, and topical rants.
Meet the Candidates #5 - Ted Cruz: Revolutionary Evil
In this week’s Meet the Candidates, we’ll take a look at the suddenly-surging Ted Cruz, the *other* Cuban in the GOP presidential race. Cruz is the GOP establishment’s biggest fear since he's rising in the polls and willing to throw anybody under the bus in order to keep that momentum going, his own party included. Luckily, another equal-opportunity bus-thrower and birther/racism fanatic Donald Trump might not let voters forget that Mr. Cruz, unlike Obama, was actually born abroad. Will his Canadian-ness take him out of the running? Will his seething hatred of governance do the trick instead? Only time will tell!
BTL #174 - Politically Suicidal - 10/26/15
This week on the podcast, after 11 hours of Benghazi questioning, Hillary Clinton proves she has the stamina of a champion filibusterer. Too bad we didn't know this while she was in the Senate! And if this week wasn't already good enough week for her campaign, two Democratic contestants and one would-be contestant dropped out! Bye Linc! Plus, sorry Jeb!, it turns out that all the money in the world can’t buy you...money for your campaign. All this plus Ben Carson and the confusing logic of the Iowa electorate, Paul Ryan's forthcoming political suicide, and a walk down memory lane with family values and prostitute lover David Vitter!
Meet The Candidates #2 - The Lincoln Logs
Lincoln Chafee. Linc Chafee. Good ‘ole Linc. Third generation governor, beneficiary of Rhode Island's evident dedication to a grand tradition of near-monarchy, and member of any political party that will have him. We've already delved into the biography of his Andover classmate Jeb!, so today we take a closer look at Linc, the aristocrat on the other side of the aisle.
