On this second podcast of the week Abe Greenwald, Noah Rothman, and John Podhoretz try to suss out what it is the president is trying to do by tweeting threats at conservative Republican House members who opposed him on health-care reform. Can he punish them? Should he want to? Will he actually try to? And what about Russia? Is he failing to respond publicly to Putin’s many provocations for inappropriate reasons or because he just doesn’t care? Give a listen.

    John’s best line of the podcast: “All he wants is to yell at the New York Times.  That’s what makes him happy.”    Funny and satisfying on several levels.

    The funny part is we are supposed to believe this podcast cares about the Freedom caucus. Trump is not Conservative and I supported him only after the primaries , so I am no Trump cultist as one of the commentators in the podcast suggests. I’m sure this will get Coc’d even though I have been respectful and the person who used the term Trump cultist will go on using those terms.
