Politicology

These two are great guest on foreign policies (Molly McKew) and on Latino voters (Mike Madrid).

I love this podcast. Love everything it stands for, the guests, Ron, topics. But I am getting frustrated on Fridays that the weekly round up is either really late in the afternoon or is initially only available to members.

I have listened to Politicology from the beginning. Several of Ron’s comments and interruptions seemed uncharacteristic of his typically outstanding interviewing. The equity is communism comment stuck with me and concerned me. I listen to Politicology because of Ron’s careful, thoughtful, insightful approach to every topic. I imagine a future when Trump and MAGA are defeated and I could listen to principled conservatives articulate their positions. I have imagined Ron being one of those people. I will keep listening because in that last round up Ron was uncharacteristically uncareful. He was uncareful in a way that he asks his loyal listeners not to be. I am hopeful it was just an anomaly. I rely on Politicology and have recommended it to far left family and left leaning friends. I will keep listening unless and until the anomaly becomes routine. I seek insight and understanding from people with whom I may disagree on some matters.

I’m grateful to see the difference issues among Hispanic voters starting to be addressed. As a Floridian, of course Cubans are Republicans. Look at the Fanjul family and the sugar cane fields they own. Look at the Guatemalans, and other Indian based background Hispanics. The Puerto Ricans in Orlandos. You are looking at the wealthy versus the poor used to living in huts. In Texas & the Sun Belt, again another culture. The Hispanics who have spread throughout the US. Mike & Ron, I watched the Showtime documentary on The Lincoln Project. There was a moment that the group came together like Camelot to beat Trump. Trumpism came later. It was sad when you left (however you want to frame it). Each of you works better on your own. You’ve been able to take your talent & skills to expand the fight against Trumpism. Living in the autocratic state of Florida with DeSantis and Scott (who will sunset social security) I see the next step. Please, keep your work going forward. It matters. P.S. Mike, are your paintings frescoes? They are gorgeous.
