Extra Sessions, Dems Tack Far Left, Bloomberg’s Big Adventure

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Rob Long takes over Jim's stool for the day to discuss a big day in political announcements. First, they size of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions running for his old U.S. Senate seat and starting his campaign by praising the president who fired him, a move Rob describes as brilliant. They also watch Virginia Democrats talking about gun confiscation and Bernie Sanders proposing the end of illegal immigrant deportations and the abolition of agencies like ICE and Customs and Border Protection, and marvel at how the left just can't help embracing extreme positions when it seems to have some momentum. And they dissect former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to begin filing paperwork to seek the Democratic nomination in 2020, with Rob wondering how Bloomberg thought his record in the Big Apple could be attractive to rank and file Democrats.
