  • Lindsay Clancy

    Disappointed in your coverage on the Lindsay Clancy trial. If you are going to cover it, do so with some education on the topic. The reason women are backing her is because she tried to get help and the system failed her. No one is saying what she did was right. This is shedding light on a topic that needs to be talked about. Two men discussing this case and saying it’s “cut and dry” is gross.

  • David’s a delight!

    Measured, insightful and delightfully self-deprecating. He also shares his frustration with detractors who seem to leave many,many posts on Fridays.

    Also, Thanks for playing the Alex Jones “OH! THE BONUS SHOW!!” Clip again. Been missing it.

Trump’s brain resets on stage as GOP election panic sets in
Q: Do you think becoming the nominee after Graham Platner's campaign collapsed was a significant disadvantage, or could it provide advantages?
Jackson says the shortened campaign was unusual, but Maine voters were already looking for change and responded to his record and message.
The wrong side of history in more ways than one
Q: What do you think is behind the polling on Question 3, and what's your view on it?
Moore urges voters to approve Question 3, arguing that it is a defense of democracy and gives Maryland the ability to respond to what he describes as Trump's efforts to influence elections.
The wrong side of history in more ways than one
Q: What are you hearing from the voters of your state about what are really the voting issues for them as they think about November 3rd?
Moore says Maryland voters are concerned about the federal administration's conduct, foreign wars, and Republican candidates who have not challenged Trump. He also argues that voters want candidates to demonstrate results and address affordability.
Trump humiliates Vance as Vivek’s campaign implodes
Q: Do you believe that Democrats are winning over voters with policy ideas? Or is it that the promises of Trump have so abjectly failed on affordability, unknown new wars, et cetera, that it's people voting against the Republicans that have been rubber stamping everything Trump has done?
Schatz says it is a mix, but voters are primarily reacting to unified Republican control, rising costs, and dissatisfaction with the administration. He cautions that opposition to Republicans does not necessarily mean voters have embraced the Democratic Party.
