We hope to open up dialogue, make you think about topics in a new way, introduce you to people you might never connect with, and show your children how to be future leaders.

    Just three broads talking politics Ep 178

    In this episode, we talked about: How Kelly and Soph met, and started their podcast, Two Broads Talking PoliticsTheir take on the debates that have happened so far and what they think of the candidates; there are so many candidates on the stage and how they are just trying to STAND out at this pointHow Elizabeth Warren was the only one who didn't spend her first debate time slamming Trump & how she made very conscious choices not to talk too much... perhaps because women are often perceived as talking too much. Why there are so many Democratic candidates and no serious Republican contenders.What does Mark Sanford's potential candidacy mean? - Interesting polls - Trump has a high approval rating, but there are ALSO a large number of people who report a strong conservative candidate over Trump; Trump can't attack him on his sex scandal because he has done these things and worse...Winning the general election - who can excite moderate conservatives?The struggle that the Democrats will face in the 2020 electionWho has the best chance of carrying the Democratic voteKelly's fear - that we'll nominate someone like Biden and then we won't stand a chance... she's hoping for Warren! Sophy agrees that Elizabeth Warren seems to be gaining a broader base of approvalTalked a lot about Elizabeth Warren and why these Two Broads like her!The Two Broads podcast - how it is a great resource of information on politics in general and a good source of information on the issues and elections as well as other resources; Kelly suggests reading as many news sources as possible and reading the top news stories across a huge variety of news outlets; don't lock yourself into just one sourceEnding on a hopeful note
