In this Episode:
Trump’s power has always been grounded in fanning the flames of white racial resentment, and it’s no accident that the most racially diverse Congress in history is now holding him accountable.
Steve and Sharline weigh in on the October 15 Democratic debate and the state of the Democratic presidential nomination contest and then dive into the topic of impeachment, namely the ongoing impeachment inquiry of No. 45. Much of the current news analysis tends to focus on how a majority of “the American people” now oppose No. 45, but in reality what has changed is that many more white people have finally had enough of this president. Voters of color have opposed Trump from day one and wanted him out. Black and brown legislators wanted him impeached ages ago. Steve also breaks down the most critical factors in understanding the prospects of the various candidates running for president.
