The Closing Argument

November 5, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “The Closing Argument” on Spreaker.

Democrats and Republicans have high hopes in Tuesday’s midterm elections, and while Democrats are fired up to throw up political roadblocks to President Trump, Republicans are also energized by lacking consistency in their closing message.

Conservative syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock says Republicans should not be talking about the migrants headed for the southern border when Republicans boast the best economy in the past half century.

“We should be talking about the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy today,” said Murdock.

“I know the caravan, or as I call it the pedestrian invasion force, is obviously a very important issue, but the GOP has a gift that’s wrapped in gold foil.  We ought to be talking about that,” he added.

While President Trump has focused a lot of attention on the migrants in the final days of the campaign, Murdock says his brethren in the media are working overtime to make every bad story a reflection on Trump.

“(They’ve done) terribly, as usual.  no big surprise,” said Murdock.

Murdock singled out media coverage of the horrific synagogue murders in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27, when a self-described neo-Nazi who hates President Trump committed the deadliest crime against Jews in American history.

He says no matter what Trump did, the press was ready to pounce.

“All these people said the president needs to unify us, bring us together, let us all heal.  So he goes to Pittsburgh to meet with the rabbi at the synagogue and heal the survivors of this atrocity.  Then they attack him for going there and say how dare you go there, when they’ve been begging for him to heal the country.

“Had he not gone there, the people in the media would have screamed, ‘How come he hasn’t gone there to heal the victims?’  So, no matter what the president does, these jackals in the old guard media will attack him mercilessly, non-stop, no matter what he does,” said Murdock.

The biggest energizer for Republican voters was the Democrats’ treatment of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.  For Democrats, they’ve been amped up to stick it to Trump at the polls since the day he won the presidency.

“The Democrats have pretty much been energized since election night two years ago.  They expected Hillary Clinton, the dutchess of Chappaqua, to rise to the throne of the throne at the White House, for which I guess she was born to serve.  That didn’t work out and they’ve pretty much been in a foaming at the mouth situation ever since,” said Murdock.

Listen to the full podcast as Murdock explains what he sees as the stakes in these midterm elections, and what constitutes a good, great, bad or very bad day at the polls for Republicans.

Pessimistic Polls, Second-Guessing GOP Strategy, SNL Mocks Wounded Veteran

November 5, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Pessimistic Polls, Second-Guessing GOP Strategy, SNL Mocks Wounded Veteran” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America wince at many of the final polls showing Democrats with the momentum in several key races.  They also wonder why Republicans have not spent most of their time and money discussing the strength of the economy instead of more polarizing issues like the caravan.  And they unload on Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson for mocking Texas GOP congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw for wearing an eye patch and saying, “I’m sorry.  I know he lost his eye in war or whatever.”

Bombs Sent to Clinton & Obama, Braun with Momentum, Caravan Craziness

October 24, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Bombs Sent to Clinton & Obama, Braun with Momentum, Caravan Craziness” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are enraged that someone would send explosive devices to the Obamas, Clintons, CNN, and others and hope that those responsible for threatening or attacking public figures – or anyone else – are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  They’re also glad to see Indiana Republican Senate hopeful Mike Braun either closing in on Sen. Joe Donnelly or even taking the lead.  They slam MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and others for definitively declaring that there’s no evidence of criminals being part of the thousands of Central Americans headed towards the U.S. border when there is evidence to the contrary.  And they weather the final attack ads aimed at their favorite teams ahead of Sunday’s Bears-Jets game.

Early Voter Edge to GOP, Dems Duck Caravan Debate, Sadistic Saudis

October 23, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Early Voter Edge to GOP, Dems Duck Caravan Debate, Sadistic Saudis” on Spreaker.

After another round of vicious third-party ads surrounding this Sunday’s Bears-Jets game, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are cautiously pleased to see registered Republicans showing up to vote early in bigger numbers than Democrats in several key states.  They also shake their heads as Democrats duck and dodge questions about how they would handle the thousands of people heading to our southern border and demanding to enter instead of going through legal channels.  And they shudder as more details emerge in the murder and disposal of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi elements in Turkey.

Gov’t Leaker Prosecuted, Mexico Confronts Caravan, Twitter & Farrakhan

October 18, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Gov't Leaker Prosecuted, Mexico Confronts Caravan, Twitter & Farrakhan” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the Justice Department for prosecuting a Treasury Department employee for giving sensitive information to the media.  They’re also pleasantly surprised to see Mexico getting serious about screening the caravan of Hondurans hoping to reach the United States.  And they slam Twitter for it’s absurd double standards, as conservatives get suspended or banned on a regular basis but Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gets no punishment for referring to Jews as “termites.”
