Trump gets played in Mar-a-Lago dinner with Kanye West, Nick Fuentes, and Milo Yiannopoulos Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

What is sure to be one of the weirder moments of the 2024 presidential campaign has just taken place before the campaign is even fully underway.

In quest to get Trump, secrecy strikes again Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Think back five years to the frenzy of news reporting and commentary over what was called Trump-Russia "collusion" — the allegation that the 2016 Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the presidential election. Most of the coverage, and especially the commentary, seemed predicated on the belief that collusion did, in fact, take place. But later, in one of history's great never minds, the extensive investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller was unable to establish that Trump-Russia collusion — prosecutors called it conspiracy or coordination — ever occurred at all. The Mueller team spent years investigating an alleged crime and in the end concluded it could not establish that the alleged crime even took place, much less who did it.

The needless act to 'protect' marriage Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

There are two things to remember about the Respect for Marriage Act. One, it is unnecessary. And two, it's going to become law.

Trump promises restoration — and that's the problem Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Former President Donald Trump wanted to announce his 2024 candidacy at a rally in Ohio on the evening of Nov. 7, the night before millions of people voted in the midterm elections. A lot of advisers in Trump's large, informal circle strongly opposed the idea. It was too early, they said, and nobody knows how the elections will turn out. Better to wait. But a few in Trump's orbit argued a glorious red wave was on the way and that Trump should be out in front, taking credit for it.

Trump obsession clouds midterm analysis Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Remember when the conventional wisdom was that abortion would be a huge issue in the midterm elections? Then the election came, and a lot of data pointed to the fact that yes, abortion did indeed play a big role. But now, the subject most people are talking about is...former President Donald Trump.

Assessing blame after the GOP's close call Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Many Republicans and conservatives are pointing fingers at each other over the party's lackluster performance in the 2022 midterm elections. Given all the advantages the GOP had — widespread economic anxiety, a huge majority believing the country has gone off track, and a deeply unpopular Democratic president — Republicans should have done better.

Did GOP optimism outrun reality? Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Even as votes continue to be counted, the big picture that is emerging from midterm results around the country is that, as predicted, it appears Republicans will win control of the House of Representatives. That's a big deal. Even if the GOP controls only one chamber of Congress, President Joe Biden's legislative agenda is dead. Biden should realize that as speaker, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is not going to help the president pass any big legislative priority. That will be a momentous change in Washington.

The campaign that wasn't about Trump Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

A rumor swept through the political world Monday that former President Donald Trump would announce his 2024 candidacy at an election-eve rally in Ohio for Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance. It didn't happen. But it attracted a lot of attention, certainly among the politicians, staffers, consultants, journalists, pundits, and other obsessives who make up the political chatter world. They watched the rally not to hear what Trump might say about the midterm elections, but about his own plans.

Democrats desperate to keep hope alive Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

President Joe Biden said he is optimistic about the Democratic Party's chances in the midterm elections. "Folks, I'm not buying the notion that we're in trouble," Biden told the crowd at a party fundraiser in Chicago Friday night. "I really mean it. ... I think we're going to keep the House and we're going to keep the Senate."

The hysterical stage of the campaign Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

THE HYSTERICAL STAGE OF THE CAMPAIGN. Even with campaigns that are less hard-fought than this one, the final days before an election can be a time when both sides, but most often candidates who are trailing in the polls, make extreme statements about their opponents. Losers see defeat coming and make desperate attempts to avert it. That is what is happening now: The 2022 midterm elections have entered the hysterical stage.
