Could we really elect a president who’s in prison? Yes.

Friends,Welcome back to another Saturday coffee klatch, where Heather and I review the highs and lows (and even lowers) of the week. Today we focus on:— Trump’s arrest. Why was there no violence, as many had feared? Can we possibly elect a president who’s in prison? — Trump’s promise to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after Biden and the entire Biden crime family” if Trump is reelected president. Do we need to take Sam Ervin’s advice after Watergate? — The GOP House loonies. Is Kevin McCarthy regretting the Faustian bargain he made to become speaker?— Candidates running for president on the Republican side who no one has ever heard of. Why are they running? — This week’s upbeat news — including Democratic “trifecta” states and the best series on television.Thank you to Deirdre Broderick / Corey Kaup and Joseph Lawson for today’s theme songs, and to all of you for listening.
