Description

If you're looking for someone who actually knows how presidential and national politics works to explain what's going on in 30 minutes or less, this is the show for you. Joe Trippi is a longtime Democratic campaign manager who ran the progressive Howard Dean presidential campaign in 2004 and the historic Doug Jones Senate campaign to defeat Roy Moore in 2017. He's seen it all and isn't bogged down by the viral tweets or hot takes du jour. He's looking past the headlines to answer the questions that matter: How do Democrats win key races moving forward? How do we convince voters to make Republicans pay for January 6th and its aftermath? What are we headed for in November? Don't just listen to the talking heads. Learn from an expert.

Even in Idaho, the map is expanding people with Todd Achilles

2026/10/13

Nobody had the Idaho Senate campaign on their races-to-watch list this year, but thanks to Independent Senate Candidate Todd Achilles, it’s time to start paying attention. Idahoans are as frustrated with rising prices, aging politicians, and the War in Iran as the rest of us, and the Achilles campaign is capturing that momentum by offering an alternative not beholden to either party. But is a great candidate running against a weak incumbent really enough to overcome a major fundraising disadvantage and a lack of national infrastructure? Todd certainly thinks so.

Thanksgiving lives on in Wisconsin! Joe Crowley went from dropping out of the race to Democratic nominee for Governor. How? Why did polling miss this one (again?) Joe and Alex check in on the rest of this week's primaries and have one big question: Why hasn't the media made a bigger deal about how unenthused Republicans are this cycle? Will it be *the* thing that swings the midterms? Plus, Joe has a theory: What brand is even more "toxic" than Democrats? And does seniority matter at all anymore? (Nope!)

"Mike Rogers is in a world of trouble"

2026/08/07

Trippi explains why the Michigan election results aren't doom and gloom for Democrats - actually why Abdul El-Sayed is a big problem for Mike Rogers, not Democrats. Moderates aren't sitting on their hands in November. Why does this matter not just for 2026 but for 2028? How does the 2028 map affect the ability of a progressive to gain momentum and win the Presidential nomination? What's with the massive polling misses in Michigan? Were they really misses? And why does Trippi think "the many vs the money" overcame $30m+ in outside spending? Should Democrats go all in in Texas? And if you're listening to this podcast, one fact might surprise you...
