Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

Green party candidate for president Jill Stein.  Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race.  Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods.  Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time.  If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!

Well don’t you worry! If you thought the last few years were exciting, buckle up. Rudy’s no stranger to exciting. Here are some of the highlights!

Bernie Sanders is the Definition of "Electable"

Around this time in every election cycle, voters get obsessively wrapped up in identifying the presidential candidate that most exudes “electability.” Unfortunately, nobody has a clue as to what that entails. That’s why we’ve decided to make the electability case in a simple way, using the cold, hard, undeniable, poll and stat-based facts.

We're flying rundown-free because we snuck this recording in after a packed weekend at Politicon, but we've got our reactions to the comic-con for wonks, plus of course the healthcare vote, Priebus exit, Scaramucci living up to his operatic name, Trump's VERY on-brand boy scouts speech, and more!
