Political discussion about Senator Amy Klobuchar and Democratic candidates for 2020. And a few other political topics too.

If questions about Senator Kamala Harris’s blackness sound familiar, that may be because you heard them all before during Barack Obama’s first run for president.

Discussed Donald Trump and Anti-Semitism tonight

Tired of Republicans who race to condemn Ralph Northam or Ilhan Omar but who won’t condemn Donald Trump’s racism or Kevin McCarthy’s anti-Semitism.

After the news that racist photos appeared on the medical school yearbook page of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, Keith Boykin says Northam should step down and let Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax step up.

Republicans had full control of Congress for two years and never approved Trump’s border wall. We had an election last November and voters rejected the GOP approach. To shut down the government now to build a wall is effectively to stage a coup to overturn the will of the people.

What used to be a dog whistle has now become a human whistle as Trump’s Republican Party has emboldened racists like Rep. Steve King of Iowa.

Keith Boykin and Rob Astorino discuss the Christmas chaos surrounding the White House with the government shutdown, market turmoil, White House resignations and firings, attacks on the Fed and missteps from the Treasury Secretary, along with Trump’s whining about being alone in the White House and telling a 7-year-old girl that Santa doesn’t exist.

The New York Times reports today that Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey has hired undocumented immigrants. A housekeeper who made Trump’s bed, cleaned his toilet and dusted his trophies tells the Times that she’s had enough of her famous boss. “We are tired of the abuse, the insults, the way he talks about us when he knows that we are here helping him make money.”

Keith Boykin and Steve Cortes discuss on CNN.
