Lucas and Luke share a few thoughts about the recent presidential debate. Topics include the Electoral College, bills getting (or not getting) to the President’s desk, immigration and scaremongering, the Green Party and third-party possibilities, judicial reform, and what the rest of the left is doing.
Correction: Luke said the election comes down to 40,000 people. The correct number is closer to 400,000 out of 150 million or so voters. See David Dayen’s article below.
