The Greatest Week

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

A debacle in Iowa, a triumphant State of The Union speech, a rip-off, a socialist, a small town mayor with a big win -- you name it, we discuss it on this week's edition of The Big Show, aka The Ricochet Podcast. To help us sort through it all, we've got the great Deb Saunders, White House correspondent for the Las Vegas Review Journal, and Mr. New Hampshire himself, Michael Graham (listeners, please send him some decaf-- he needs it). Also, come on down, Ricochet member @Nohaaj! You've got the highly coveted, much sought after Lileks Post of The Week. Finally, a White House speechwriter reviews the SOTU speech, another Long Poll Question®, and we close with another edition of What Are You Watching? What are you watching? Let us know in the comments.

    Rob, this may come as a bit of a shock to you, but we don't all think Trump is a disgusting pig and find that description of him most offensive. It is true that we aren't always happy with some of his rhetoric, but as a Republican for some 50 years, I can honestly say there isn't a single president that I can remember who said various things of which I totally approved. The last time I checked to call someone a disgusting pig is against the Code of Conduct.

    Rob and others shouldn't be playing the "my vote doesn't count anyway" game again this time. It would certainly be helpful if Trump could get a majority of the popular vote this time. That means Rob, Peter, and others like them need to get out and vote!
