Andrew and Jerry Talk Guns, Grime & Gavin Newsom!

The second GOP debate is upon us, and Donald Trump will be absent again. Jerry lays out the case as to why he thinks this should disqualify Trump from the Primary ballot, and Andrew asks Jerry whether this changes his view of Rank Choice Voting.  Trump is going to speak to the UAW instead, and Andrew & Jerry debate the merits of this and whether Trump will fumble the opportunity by mangling his message.  What happens to the Republic if Trump loses to Biden... or, alternatively, what happens to the Republic if Trump wins a second term?  Why are the Democrats so opposed to law-abiding Americans having guns - and is Newsom's gamble on guns and parenting going to pay off for his presidential aspirations.  If Biden ISN'T the Democratic nominee, would it be Newsom, or someone else--maybe one of the rising stars James Carville voiced in his appearance on Bill Maher's podcast?

Who is to blame for the impending shut down - and did congressional Republicans miss a golden opportunity by not returning to regular order.  Plus, Jerry gives Andrew some fashion advice for an upcoming gala!
