Two Weeks Out: Trump’s Ukraine Betrayal, Vance’s Weakness, and Why November 3 Isn’t the Finish Line

On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss: — Why November 3 is not the finish line, and the post-election period through January could bring chaos. — Trump’s “Kansas kickback” is a sign of Republican panic about losing the House and Senate. — Trump’s embrace of Putin and betrayal of Ukraine as a stunning historical act that further fractures his 2024 coalition — Endorsing Bibi Netanyahu (low U.S. approval) and other foreign meddling instead of focusing on America First. — The sickening feeling that comes from being right about Trump, reflections on the “Flight 93” narrative, and why a stable society chose to set itself on fire. — JD Vance’s weak CBS town hall performance, lack of charisma, baggage from Trump — Ted Cruz as an undervalued dark horse/Goldilocks candidate if Trumpism crashes further — Post-election dangers and what Democrats should do if they gain power: lean into economic populism, drop the woke excesses, maintain border control, prepare for AI-driven job disruption, and more!
