The Democratic Downfall

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the cowardice of the Democratic Party writ large as they capitulated to the GOP in the Senate by helping them pass a Continuing Resolution to keep the government open for business. Chuck Schumer ends up being the focus as he continues to lead his party in a feckless way. They move on to Donald Trump calling CNN and MSNBC illegal with hopes they're investigated by his personal DOJ before running through a list of things the GOP is doing to destroy democracy - like insisting a Seattle man on Social Security was dead and stealing his life savings while he is very much alive.
