President Trump spoke with governors on a conference call Thursday and released a plan to re-open the economy after a month of shutdowns. Titled “Opening Up America Again” (PDF link here), the document guides state and local officials on the loosening of restrictions on businesses and citizens with a phased approach.

Before a state or county begins to open, the White House recommends meeting the following criteria:

In a way, it’s great that we’re now debating who really has the “authority” and the “power” to reopen our economy. It means that despite some 22,000 deaths thus far (the number will grow) – far less than the 100,000-240,000 estimated by modeling “experts” as little as two weeks ago – it appears we are […]

Bigger Senate Majority, Dems Flip House, Mixed Results on Governors

November 7, 2018

0 COMMENTS

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

In a recap of the 2018 midterm elections, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the expanded Republican majority in the U.S. Senate after four incumbent Democrats were defeated. They also wince as Democrats comfortably take back the House majority. And they look at the surprising GOP wins and disappointing losses in the governor’s races.

Wages Rising, GOP Faces Gubernatorial Disasters, Kanye’s ‘Yexit’

October 31, 2018

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are happy to see new reports showing the highest wage growth in a decade and the highest consumer confidence since 2000. They also groan as dismal GOP prospects in major governors’ races could leave Democrats leading 12 of the 13 most populous states after the midterm elections. And they do a terrible job of faking their shocked faces as Kanye West says he was used politically and is now “distancing himself from politics.”

While the November midterms look tough for the GOP congress, Republican governors are the GOP’s 2018 good news–particularly in blue states like Massachusetts and New Hampshire. What’s their secret sauce? We have experts from both those states offering their insights.

And what the heck happened to VT’s Republican star Gov. Phil Scott–who had the biggest popularity plunge ever measured by Morning Consult polling? All the deets are in the podcast.

GOP Governors Look Strong, Big Deficits Coming Back, Memo Mania

February 1, 2018

0 COMMENTS

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America see decent prospects for Republicans governors in the 2018 midterms, as they are glad to see the ten most popular governors in the U.S. are all Republicans and that many of the GOP’s least popular governors are not running for re-election. They also groan as Treasury Department officials project nearly trillion dollar deficits returning this fiscal year. And they get dizzy trying to follow all the accusations and counter-attacks related to the House Intelligence Committee FISA memo, concluding that the more information that gets released the better – from all sides – so long as sources and methods are not compromised.

Popular GOP Governors, Turbulence for United, Return to Dueling?

April 11, 2017

Hosted by Greg Corombos

With guest Ian Tuttle

Ian Tuttle of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the resignation of Alabama GOP Gov. Robert Bentley and a new poll showing the nation’s ten most popular governors are all Republicans. They also get to the bottom line of what went wrong on the United Airlines flight – quick escalation of hostilities and a failure to let capitalism solve the problem. And they get a kick out of Oregon possibly removing a ban on dueling from the state constitution.

Here’s one I didn’t see coming, from Ashley Edwardson at Allen West’s site: In what might be seen as purely coincidence, a program called Connect All Schools (which quotes Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech on its website) was creating a consortium of like-minded organizations with the goal of “connecting every school in the U.S. with the world by […]

One of my regular complaints about RINO tactics is how unimaginative and by-the-book they are, so by-the-book that everyone else has read and re-read that particular book so often that anyone paying attention is never surprised by tactics used from it. Contrast that playbook with progressives. Regardless of the merits of a particular issue raised […]

If the margin holds Larry Hogan will defeat Obama protege (and Army Colonel) Anthony Brown. This was considered impossible even 3 weeks ago. No scandal occurred to make this race winnable. Charles Baker has defeated Martha Coakley. More
