J’s Lunch Counter – Episode 3 (July 30, 2016)
Episode Three of J’s Lunch Counter – The Podcast! covers the best and worst of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, including the politics and pageantry and political theater in Philadelphia. In today’s hour-plus episode, Jonah goes solo, breaking down the highlights and lowlights of the past week in politics, and how the Democrats created a stark contrast to the Trump convention in Cleveland. Listen to my thoughts on the choice of Tim Kaine for Vice President, the DNC email hack and how poorly the DNC handled the Democratic primary. We’ll also cover the ongoing protests of the Bernie Sanders supporters, the rise of Cory Booker, the all-time great speech of the First Lady Michelle Obama, the awkward, edited re-telling of the Bill and Hillary love story, the Joe Biden Convention that never was, why the delegates were wrong to boo and heckle Michael Bloomberg, Tim Kaine and his most un-presidential shirt, President Barack Obama’s most presidential performance, and the historic, slightly underwhelming but strong performance of Hillary Clinton. The show ends with a reflection on the impact of the two-decade narrative of Hillary Clinton and how dangerous that narrative can be in the face of a potential Donald Trump presidency.
