The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

I sat down with @pasuburbsguy. We agree on most issues. But we disagree on Trump. HUGELY. So we sat down, to listen to each other, and to try to understand how and why we ended up on opposite sides this time around. Good, respectful conversation.

It doesn't please me to say it, but JD Vance won that debate last night. He effectively normalized Trump. If Trump is normalized, he had a decent shot to win. Vance helped normalize Trump last night. Walz did a poor job of describing to the American people what a uniquely dangerous threat Trump is.

He's doing it again. He's saying the election is going to be stolen. He's saying the only way he can lose is if the election is stolen. He's laying the seeds to not accept the results if he loses. He's attacking our democracy and inciting violence. AGAIN. He's doing it AGAIN.

As we get closer to the election, Donald Trump continues to get darker & darker, and uglier & uglier, and more cruel & more cruel in what he says. It's all in a mad effort to scare the shit out of voters. Let's hope it doesn't work. Let's hope most voters see through it.

Our politics has been broken for awhile. Our political system is in desperate need of reform. Our political class hasn't been listening to the American people for a long time. So it's not a surprise that a horrible demagogue like Trump would come on the scene.

Another day of Trump bad-mouthing and blaming America. Kamala Harris should publicly accept the FOX News debate, What political courage looks like, and thank you Caitlin Clark

Like me, Mitt Romney believes Donald Trump is unfit to be President. And like me, Mitt fears for the personal safety of himself & his family if Trump becomes President. But unlike me, Mitt won't vote for Kamala Harris. He won't vote for the ONLY person who can keep Trump out of power. So...does Mitt really believe Trump is a threat? Does he really?

Pollster, handicapper, & analyst @realcarlallen joins me to handicap the presidential race with 43 days to go. Who's in a better position right now, what factors might change things these final 43 days. Fascinating stuff. Have a listen.
