There is No Grand Strategy at Work Here

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, four of the Republican candidates who will neither win the primary nor the general election to become Colorado’s next governor faced off in Weld County for a debate. We ask, why? 

Then, Friend of the Pod Joe Neguse won’t let Republicans in Washington DC rewrite history, neither will Jack Smith or the police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Next, the President of the United States is mentally, emotionally and PHYSICALLY deteriorating right in front of our eyes; if only there were two or more constitutional mechanisms or other global measures that could be taken to stop the mad king. Then, we check in with our 7th favorite member of congress from Colorado to see how her brave quest to release the Epstein files is going...hang on we’re getting an update here, we’re being told she suddenly gave up. And finally we check in on the continuing saga of Tina Peters, the former Republican Mesa County Clerk who was indicted, tried and convicted by a jury of her peers for tampering with her own office’s election equipment to try to prove the big lie.
