I think JD Vance will have Trump set aside using the 25th Amendment within 6 months of their (God forbid) taking office.

I am an avid follower of this podcast and look forward to Rick Wilson's take on the 2024 campaigns. This morning Rick answered a question referencing if a VP pick had ever been changed after being nominated and confirmed at the DNC nominating convention. He said it was in 1972 and it was Edmund Muskie, which is WRONG! In 1972, George McGovern was the nominee and he chose Sen. Thomas Eagleton, who was dropped from the ticket when it was revealed he had undergone treatment for depression.

Sorry, I am very sympathetic to many of his arguments, but I thought Marcus Anthony Hunt was offensive.

Why does Molly sound like she was sneaky sounding on this episode??? 😂

I completely disagree. Of course, the abortion issue is a major galvanizing issue. One doesn't need to speculate about it. Losing a Constitutional right is serious. It has never happened, and just cause there isn't a precedence for it, it doesn't negate the obvious ramifications. The polls will show that Americans prefer a mainstream approach to constitutional rights & legislation and not extremism. Im surprised that the GOP hasn't been louder in their outcry of their GOP hijacked by extremists
