Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
After a surprisingly brief venting about how bad their football teams are, Jim and Greg serve up three good martinis. They welcome New York Times polling showing Warren as the weakest major Democratic candidate against President Trump and an NYT editorial blasting Warren for falsely claiming that only billionaires would see higher taxes in her plan to pay for single-payer health care. Then they relish the exit of Beto O’Rourke from the 2020 Democratic field and also hammer the media for building up Beto as some sort of transformational figure in 2018 when he was always an empty suit. And Jim highlights his extensive profile of U.S. Attorney John Durham, the tight-lipped prosecutor tapped to investigate how the Trump-Russia investigation began in the first place.

Did Jim Geraghty ever call Jim Comey a “straight shooter”? Just wondering!
Maybe John Durham really is an exemplar of that species, rarer than the prothonotary warbler.
More praise heaped upon John Durham, which reminds me again of the showy appointment of Mueller etc. Whose great achievements they talked about, were also 30-40 years ago. Frankly I won’t be surprised if Durham turns out to be another doddering figurehead.
And I never heard anything about why Friday’s show wasn’t available until today.
What are the internals of the poll? 48% Democrat the way they were in the last two Fox News polls?
I don’t think Democrats would really be worried about a scandal for firing Durham. He would be gone in the first week.
The Democrats only care about getting the result they want.
It was my fault. Sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoyed the unintentional doubleheader.
