    I’d be more Team Zoe, but I like Pippa, too.

    There is an excellent podcast called Cop life. The officer who does it is a veteran cop in Texas. There is a good backlog of episodes which could keep you going for a while. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had much time to do new episode, so they are often a month apart. Still his honesty and experience give a really good feeling for what his life on the streets is like.

    Interesting to hear Jonah talk about how, if the Democrats ran an outright socialist for president, enough people might vote for them, and not for Trump, that the socialist wins.

    In a situation like that, could Jonah actually bring himself to vote for Trump? 

    Be still, my heart!

    But, wasn’t Hillary bad enough?

    The funniest part of the the podcast was when Podhoretz proclaimed, “Trump’s election…this kind of, you know, black swan event…radicalized the democratic party way more than we expected”. Pure comedy gold!

    This is a sign of Trump derangment syndrome. The party has been leaning more and more left since Howard Dean.

    But he went on to the non-trivial chance of electing a socialist.  If that happens, I think it will be because of the Jonah Goldbergs who may refuse to vote for Trump no matter what.

    Trump’s election didn’t radicalize the Democrats. 

    Most of them have always been that way.  It’s just that there are no Southern moderates left.  I think that changed when environmental nut Al Gore became the first Democrat to lose West Virginia to a non-incumbent Republican since Al Smith in 1928.

    Besides if Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo, Steve Forbes, or Pat Buchanan had been elected, it would be just about the same comparable level of crazy from the Democrats.

    As I remember, Jonah lives in DC.  He can cast a protest vote in DC and it does not matter.

    I don’t see it as the democrats are more left now.  It’s that because of Trump and his unpopularity, they think they can act more left now and get away with it.

    I agree. Trump is merely the excuse they are using to reveal their true intentions. To say that he radicalized them is beyond absurd.

    Jonah, is it not true that Obama drove many of his opponents so crazy that we ended up with Trump?

    Wasn’t there some Sunday in 2016 when Hillary Clinton was on all 4 network morning shows on the same day? Jonah, maybe you can shoot for that.

    It happened in Virginia. Voters came out in droves, in bad weather, to cast a vote for anything with a D after their name. But now Democrats are making Trump look like the reasonable, sane one. And as can be said about Trump, today’s Democrats don’t know how to be any other way. Trump just needs to be a little less like Trump (his polling improves every time someone hides his phone)and the Democrats have to show that they are not stupid and crazy. Problem is neither side can do it.

    Jonah has said often he would have voted for Trump if his vote counted, but it didn’t. GREAT graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jonah’s comment about John getting in touch with the Jewish people controlling the weather brought to mind a joke I saw earlier this week about Ilhan Omar. It was a picture of her with the words, ‘Okay Jewish people, I’ve apologized. Can you turn the heat back on in Minnesota?’

    Thanks for reminding me that Al Gore didn’t even win his home state of Tennessee, or even a single Tennessee electoral vote. I bet that’s a club with very few members, although of course Trump is one of them.

    Why is this more noteworthy than not winning Tennessee? Tennessee doesn’t split its electoral votes.

    Please, no. There are plenty of politics podcasts on Ricochet. The whole point of this one, for me, is that it’s getting to listen to the dudes talk about other things.

    I think that Ricochet would benefit from a member feed that was explicitly non-political – all science and religion and pet videos and such.

    Rest easy, it won’t happen very often. Part of the issue is that we are in the dead zone part of the year in terms of entertainment news.
