Abortion Politics for Dems; Dr. Oz Gets Booed At His Own Event; Fired Up Base for 2022 Dems?; Is Abortion Issue What GOP Really Wants? May 09, 2022

Show notes

Hosts: Adam Sommer, Rachel Parker, Sean Diller

True or False: The Dobbs leak will help Dems see the value of strategic thinking over reactionary thinking

Rachel Bitecofer - author of The Unprecedented 2016 Presidential Election, where she argued that the election of Donald Trump was not the result of one or two causes, but rather the product of a long process that began in the 1950s

Rejects idea of the swing voter in favor of the coalitional, basically sports team voter motivated only by beating the other side

Article explaining her theory https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/02/06/rachel-bitecofer-profile-election-forecasting-new-theory-108944

Founded “Strike pac” which she calls a war machine of the left

The sound of one hand clapping

Yeah…No: Dr. Oz Gets Booed

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/dr-oz-donald-trump-booing-pennsylvania-rally-1349483/

Buy or Sell: anti-abortion extremism will fire up the base and lead to down ticket wins in state legislatures in red states

Picture of the woman alone in my town
2 days later over 100 folks showed up to carry on the message
Rallies all over the place

The Big One: How will republicans replace the golden goose wedge issue of abortion?

Extremely successful wedge issue, most since slavery as a political issue
The principle of abortion regulation/restrictions of all access is at odds with actual libertarians and even many of the “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” types
Will it put GOP into a funk? See above - will dems learn to think strategically?
Dr. Oz - says we have to fight big tech because they are selling babies online, he really did at a Trump rally
