250 Year Competition: Vote for which of Trump’s insiders you think the Founding Fathers would send back to England CLICK HERE TO VOTE James and Al analyze Tuesday’s primaries, focusing on the enduring support for Graham Platner in Maine and the surprisingly weak showing for perennial incumbent Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Then, they welcome Judge Luttig to give his verdict on Trump in a discussion of his settlement with the IRS, the pushback from judges around the country, his weaponization of the DOJ, Todd Blanche’s lack of fitness for AG, and the partisanship of the COTUS. Afterward, they are joined by NC-11 congressional candidate Jamie Ager to discuss winning over rural voters as a Democrat in a Red state, the need to personally connect with your constituents, and how government can work for the people.
