    David, people might actually listen to your podcast if you didn’t let your personal animus towards the president color your commentary. You really think people that voted for Trump would not have voted for him had they known how these cases were going to be decided? We knew for sure there would be even worse results if Clinton had won. You should do a better job concealing your giddiness at what you perceive to be something that would cause us not to support his reelection or regret our vote the first time. On the contrary, this just makes us even more disillusioned with people like you who are becoming more and more irrelevant. On a side note, I thought your former podcast co-host was difficult to listen to, but she has nothing on your current one.
