Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America head into Independence Day with four good martinis. They look at a survey showing the majority of Americans support a Senate vote on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the midterm election. They also support German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to reverse the country’s open-borders immigration policy due to mounting political pressure. They analyze reports showing an Iranian diplomat was involved in a plot to attack a conference of Iranian resistance groups in Paris. And they welcome Brian Ross’ departure from ABC News following his false report that Trump ordered Michael Flynn to speak with Russians before the 2016 presidential election.

Welcome to the Harvard Lunch Club Political Podcast for October 25, 2016, it’s the “Trump is Dead” edition. Your hosts Todd Feinburg, Boston area talk show guy and Mike Stopa, practicing nanophysicist will guide you again through this week’s obstacle course of an election and preview what’s going to happen if we wake up on November 9 to President-elect Hillary Clinton (as we seem painfully likely to do). We will not spare you the pain: Obamacare cast in cement, pathway to citizenship, oppressive taxation (“she’ll go where the money is”) – are on the horizon. What do we do?

And we’ll also discuss the drip, drip, drip of the Wikileaks email dumps. If we haven’t heard the crescendo yet, what can we expect to come next? We discuss the revelation of some supposedly distinguished journalists cravenly calling themselves “hacks” and running their copy by John Podesta, the DNC or any other leftwing outfit that gives them succor and access. (Hint: we name names…but that’s what Wikileaks is all about, isn’t it?).
