Fasten Your Seat Belts: It's a Bumpy Primary
Since the presidential election keeps setting record levels of crazy, there is a lot to talk about in the episode. We do our best to cover it all-- from the Democratic primary in South Carolina to the train wreck GOP debate to Chris Christie's more trainwreck-esque endorsement to expectations going into Super Tuesday. We also revoke the benefit of the doubt we previously gave to Rick Snyder, and we discuss the tragic shootings in Kansas and Michigan. In a segment we called "WTF MSNBC," we ask WHAT is up with Rick Tyler's hiring and Melissa Harris Perry's departure. In the Suit, we discuss the populism, frustration, and authoritarian forces in this race. We try to regain some nuance about the Sanders and Trump movements. But, in the Heels, we where we totally lose our nuance---outside of politics.
