Summary

Mike & Jay open the episode with a look at the results of the most uncompetitive Super Tuesday ever, considering Nikki Haley’s position and whether the 2024 Presidential race is Donald Trump’s to lose at this point. They also discuss Senator Mitch McConnell’s endorsement of Trump in the context of McConnell’s remarks concerning Trump in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot. Following that they consider the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that states can’t remove Donald Trump from the ballot for being an insurrectionist. Both Mike and Jay agree with the decision. Mike argues that the Court’s three liberals and Justice Barrett were right in arguing that the opinion was too broad, a position with which Jay disagrees. They close by discussing President Biden’s State of the Union address, both on policy and whether or not it demonstrated that Biden may be up for the rigors of a presidential campaign. That leads to a broader discussion of campaigning, communicating, and governing. The Politics Guys on Facebook | X Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.

0:27.4	Hey, Jay. Hey, good morning, Mike. Hey, Jay. So, I guess I should start off this week's show
0:33.8	with a little bit of a disclaimer to everyone. I've been a little bit, it's been a rough week
0:39.2	for me. We are big dog fans here at the Baranowski household. We've always had three or four.
0:45.9	And if you're a dog owner, you know there comes a time, regrettably, where you have to make
0:51.4	some hard decisions and dogs get old and sick,
0:54.4	and our oldest dog, Bertram, is at that point.
0:57.2	And it's been rough and he's not going to be with us probably that much longer.
1:02.6	And so it's been a challenging week for me.
1:07.3	And so, but anyway, I am here and I am grateful for the distraction and the,

1:19.7	fans and supporters have also been, it's been great interacting with all of you guys. So,
1:24.8	thank you so much. All right. So with that out of the way, there is actually
1:29.2	one more thing I wanted to mention is we have a new yearly Patreon supporter. You can do that,
1:36.1	be a supporter for an entire year pledge, and you actually save 10% off of the...
1:41.1	That's really taking a gamble. You know, it's kind of...
