The Get More Smarter Podcast - A Weekly Show About Colorado Politics Republican Presidential Debates = BDSM (feat. Seth Masket)
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado is trailing her leading Democratic challenger by two points. Will she realize that she’s the problem? The Colorado Republican/Libertarian Party alliance is getting sadder and stupider, as we predicted, reinforcing the idea that instead of playing stupid games with less than 40% of the voting population of a state like Colorado, maybe the Grand Old Party should try to appeal to another 10% of voters if they’d like to win an election in the next decade? And we have a couple of great listener comments to pass along.
BUT FIRST, eight Republican hopefuls debated one another in Milwaukee for the chance to maybe get to be Donald Trump’s running mate, as long as they don’t piss him off too much. We break it down with our returning guest, Professor Seth Masket (aka SMOTUS) of the University of Denver, who has some new results of his county chair survey and some spicy takes on the debate.
