BTL #214 - Our Local Taco Truck - 9/6/14

This week on BTL, we've cover the important news: Bobby Pin-Gate 2016, Michele Bachmann's latest talking spell, and, Hillary Clinton's continued technological failings.  Oh, and I guess while we're at it we get to Trump's surprise Mexico trip (?!!?!), polls, some news about where on earth Clinton's been for the last month, and other more traditional "news" news. We bring it all because we care.  We're THOSE friends.  You're welcome.

This week on BTL, we're STILL obsessed with the Olympics, and we're especially obsessed with how obsessed everybody is about the sexism, racism, and classism in this year's Olympics media coverage.  Maybe things are getting better?  Plus, a Trump campaign shake-up leaves the candidate unmoored from regular political reality once again, and Clinton's transition teams proves she's a little too moored to a reality we'd all rather leave behind.  And you know what?  Why not make this week the week that you give us a rating on iTunes?  What do you have to lose?

This week on BTL...Donald Trump has his worst week ever and Hillary Clinton has her best week thanks to a complete lack of contact with, in the world's of Duce Trump, "the paparazzi."  Plus we've got updates from the Green Party Convention, the Libertarian Town Hall on CNN, and the scientific experts at Hollywood Reporter hellbent on bringing us the Donald Trump finger-size-proof we've all been waiting for.  Thank God none they aren't making euphemism for the size of another body part, right?

This week on BTL, it's our last podcast before the big day!  Californians will finally (FINALLY) get to weigh in on this year's presidential picks and we can't wait!  Brent, in fact, couldn't wait so much that he drove over an hour on Sunday morning to vote early, meeting up with with unknowing friend-of-the-podcast Marcia Gay Harden in the process.  No word yet on who she voted for, but Brent made some bold decisions and in honor of his sacrifice we've got a good rundown of your California Senate primary choices...all 34 of them. There's plenty more too, including Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech, Trump's banner week of racism (even for him!), Paul Ryan's panic endorsing, and so much more!

10 Ways Hillary Could Reach Out To Young Voters (A Challenge to the Clinton Hordes!)

10 Ways Hillary Could Reach Out To Young Voters (A Challenge to the Clinton Hordes!)

Dispatches from way out in Sandersland: Hillary Clinton's been rolling like a political behemoth and inevitable winner for years, but she’s having trouble convincing young voters to buy into that narrative. For the sake of larger party unity, we've compiled this list of our best, possibly condescending but absolutely imperative advice to Clinton's camp.  Millennials will become the largest voting bloc in America in the next few cycles - any party or candidate that wants to be elected or relevant in the future needs to start earning their loyalty ASAP, and Clinton will need these energetic young voters to join her camp if she does in fact become the nominee.
