In impeachment inquiry hearing thingy going on again today,

they're talking to the former ambassador to Ukraine who got fired by the Trump administration.

She's saying it was part to cover up what they were doing.

They're saying I get to fire whoever I want, so shut up.

And if anything exciting comes out of there, we'll let you know.

Yeah, it's not a great look, but it's more of the same, honestly.

You can put up with the downside of Trump because you like what he does.

You'll vote for him and if you can't, you won't.

In getting to that, how to beat Trump as a new book by a guy named Mark Halpern?

I don't know if you know him, but if you fall politics, you probably do.

He and another guy he worked with named Hyalman, Halpern Hyalman.

They were a big political pundit duo for a while and they wrote probably the most famous political book of the last half century game change, which was made into a movie.

But Halpern is really good. He's one of my favorite pundits.

And he's in this book. He talked to I think 50 different top political strategists in the country, Republicans and Democrats on what it would take to beat Trump.

But the vast majority of saying Trump is most likely going to win. That's the most likely outcome.

And Halpern's thing is to just figure out what's happening.

He's not an advocate for either side and he's super clear-eyed and smart and perceptive than his contacts are great.

He's also the only person I was watching on national TV back in 2016 who was saying, I think Trump could win as he was surrounded by New York Beltway people.

Who thought it was just laughable? Right. And mocked him for it. Remember the Huffington Post covered Trump in the entertainment section.

Because they didn't think it was worth covering in the political second.

Some powerful stuff. Maybe if you covered them in the political section, your voters would have turned out anyway.
