Do not adjust your podcast app or web browser, you are in fact seeing this week's Ricochet Podcast drop a day early. And we've got a good one for you: Chief Impeachment Pundit John Yoo stops by to grade Alan Dershowitz's impeachment defense arguments and then The Wall Street Journal's Kim Strassel gives no you-know-what's about the Democrats and their tactics. Also, our crew punditizes (we just made that word up) on the Middle East, Lileks gives Post of The Week honors to @HenryCastaigne for his Epic Crossover Event: Dr. Who Battles the Gods of the Copybook Headings, we've got a new Long Poll question, and a new jingle!

It would be better if there were additional Yes and No options with/for "It doesn't matter how it affects Trump."

And I'm curious if James has a response to my comment on the previous show, Trump = Picard?

And James posits that voters won't be willing to give up a booming economy to vote for Sanders or Warren, etc. Hopefully correct, but don’t underestimate the ability of people to vote contrary to evidence. I think many people believe that if Bernie Sanders won in November, the current economic success would continue, PLUS they could get all the free stuff he promises.
I even have neighbors who seem to believe that the current booming economy, low unemployment, etc, are not actually due to Trump and/or conservative policies. They claim it’s actually due to “leftover Obama.” And if Warren or Sanders etc were elected in November and the economy crashes, they would believe that was “leftover Trump.”
