  • Magnanimous?

    There is nothing magnanimous about Donald Trump-past, present and future. Also, Trump’s election was no mandate. 3.5% nationally. 8 million Democrats who voted 2020 did not vote in 2024. That’s the actual difference.

  • Great Guest

    Trump won the Electoral College and popular vote in a big league manner. Host thought Harris would win which shows she is not in tune with political realities. Her guest accurately identified Trump winning.

I’m absolutely no fan of AMLO’s either, but unless I’m missing the point, it might serve the show’s purpose to sound a little bit less like a PRI review and to offer more variety. I do look forward to more from this show and to see where it takes us. Update: The Ros-Lethinen “Election Update” was entire... more
