Are minorities leaving the G.O.P. or are are white voters in general just going the way of the Dodo bird? That’s the question we ponder (Rob Long ponders it at a chi chi bar in Manhattan as you’ll hear). The we chat about the debate with Ramesh Ponnuru and about Tim Kaine’s weird position on abortion rights. Later, Jim Geraghty, the Morning Jolt newsletter author (and host of the Three Martini Lunch podcast), joins to discuss the N.F.L.’s sinking ratings and whether they have to do with the injection of politics into the game. Also, the state of the Presidential race, the fight for Congress, and courtesy of Ricochet member @rushbabe49, our podcasters reveal their happiest memory. Spoiler alert: one isn’t very happy.

And Donald Trump might as well be a Democrat. I don’t understand why you value “winning” so much when it’s not even your side that’s winning. Well, maybe it is your side, I can’t speak for you, but Trump has yet to convince me that he’s on my side.
First, did you look at the opposition for the articles you linked to? Those were opening week games against mostly reruns.
Secondly, I think the tolerance level is different. You see kids in college do something leftwing stupid and you’re not surprised. One, they’ve led sheltered lives and two, they’re in an environment that encourages the stupid.
You see a marginally talented professional athlete making millions, one is suddenly not so forgiving.
