We realize it’s really early to start thinking about this, but we decided to do an episode on the 2020 Democratic Party primary field. We each brought our Top Five candidates to the conversation and talked through their pros and cons. We also talked about who we do not support (no 75+ year-olds), and who we’d like to join the race: there’s policy, there’s frivolity, and there is some straight-up nonsense.

Guests:

Steve Ketelsen, 27th LD Treasurer, host of the Flounders B-Team Podcast on Channel 253

Hope Teague-Bowling, host of Interchangeable While Ladies on Channel 253, spouse of the pod

Megan Holyoke, AP Government teacher at Lincoln HS, apparent devoted Pete Buttigieg supporter

Hosts note: I don’t want to replace the oldest president in US history with an even older person, so Bernie and Biden didn’t get a lot of love on this episode. Speaking of Bernie, if you’re all “I love Bernie’s policies” but are a “hell naw” about Sen. Warren… I have some questions for you.
