Ep 796: The Great Republican Sell-Out
Trump has a longstanding history of grifting down-ballot Republicans. Instead of supporting his so-called party, Trump is forever leveraging his status for personal profit.
But the intrigue doesn't end there. We also unpack the un-surprising transformations of "Never Trump" Republicans like Chris Sununu and Bill Barr, who have suddenly found Trump an acceptable candidate for president.
And we look back at the long-standing pushy partnership between evangelicals and Republicans, discovering that it has always been transactional, even preceding the era of George W. Bush.
And Marge fails at impeachment. Sad!

Good morning DG and BG!
Thanks for the cast, as always. There's some truly amazing thunder from 37:24 to 37:32. I'm glad you didn't re-record that section. I have many memories of such crashes.
Stay safe and thanks for all you do.
I have heard about the networks pushing Biden to debate Trump. The networks want it badly. Think it would do ratings some good.
Biden has hinted of not debating Trump this round. Trump said he didn.t want to debate. Except now things have changed and Trump wants to debate Biden.
For me, I do not require any debate with Trump. Anything he was to say in a TV debate is worthless. He is a prolific prevaricator. I will not gain anything from putting Trump on stage with Biden that I already know. New lies? Same as the old.
I think Billy Joel has a song with lyric's reading,
Don't ever argue with a crazy MI-mi-,mi-,mind..
My brother was a biker. I was a motocross racer. That made for some fun interactions when I was a teenager. Also, my high school moment of glory when I was the only one of our friends with access to transportation because you can ride a motorcycle with a learner's permit, so in order for all of us to meet at Debbie's house to study for the physics final, I gave three of our friends who happened to be cheerleaders rides on the back of my brother's Harley one after the other.
They just passed the Ukraine aid bill, and Margie is SO MAD. I read today that there is a Democratic military veteran running against Margie, saying that her district is growing embarrassed by her and feeling less than represented by her.
We'll see how that goes.
Damn, a goddamn Republican can't even say that old people shouldn't be allowed to vote without causing a scene any more. What are things coming to?
Thank you again for the podcast. Briana is up in Miranda again working on the property to get it ready for us to move there, so it's just me and the cat holding down the fort. I sent Sara the picture of Misty and Jack as IKotW, so you probably got a few extra listeners in Alabama...
