Tim, I've been sitting with this and red-dog doesn't seem to be catching on. Might I suggest "Coconut Conservative"?

Happy to see the discussions about Tim Ryan increasing. He seems like the most obvious and best option for VP. Wondering what the political scuttlebutt is about him. Did he piss off the wrong people like Nancy Pelosi? He codes like an Alpha male, but the good aspects. He seems like he could authentically talk trash with union, working class guys of all races from the ‘old’ traditional Dem party that are being lost to Trump and RFK. He’s a former college QB with a midwestern accent in his early 50s. He has been outwardly defending Kamala. Maybe his ambition is the problem?

Harris Shapiro will possess a chemistry that rivals Clinton Gore. You heard it here first.

If the Trump campaign tries to say Kamala knew Biden was senile and unfit and didn’t say anything, she should throw it right back at them and say that we all know Trump is unfit and nobody is telling him he’s unfit, why not? Not one person can come forward and say how unfit he is, really? Throw it back - make it about them!

A vodka martini is called a vodka martini. A gin martini is called a martini.

Who is this Miitch guy for VP? I like Carville, but I am afraid I am missing half of what he says.

Mitch Landrieu...who will most certainly not end up as VP.

No, but he’s going to be a fantastic piece of the puzzle and messaging machine.

Carville is my fave Dem EVER. Smart. But never forgets how to talk to normal votes. And funny AF. Love him!

Tim, you need to pump the brakes on Axelrod. He’s the Bellichick of politics. Rode the GOAT, Obama, to fame and fortune. Now it’s clear he’s an idiot with stale ideas. It’s time for him to step aside for someone younger.

My favorite gin is Castle & Key, made here in KY by the first female master distiller.

My wife and I were there back at the end of May. I don't even like gin and I bought a bottle of their gin...their Restoration Rye is amazing too!

I'll try the rye. They have a seasonal gin, too, but I prefer the standard. I do miss the old bottle.

To the folks in these comments knocking the Bulwark as being part of a coordinated effort to “take Biden out”…the effort was, by all accounts, quarterbacked almost singlehandedly by one Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi.

Whatever your personal opinions are about Biden leaving the race, none of us understand more about winning than the Speaker Emerita. And no one’s opining on a podcast had the power of her influence.

So you can quibble with the judgment of the most powerful Speaker of our lifetimes, but I don’t recommend it.

If I may, I think the recent RNC now looks like premature ejaculation.

Perfect ending with Charli XCX to close out the Kamala Harris discussion in light of the latest brat frenzy. Somehow I can envision Harris dancing to this at the convention. Love the music you always choose. See you in Dallas!
