Today on The BradCast, our All-American, Super-Smart, Most-Patriotic-Ever Panel of Geniuses try and make sense of whatever the hell happened last night in Iowa during the GOP Debate on Fox “News”, as front-running boycotter Donald Trump’s bizarre, competing “fundraiser for veterans” happened at the exact same time just down the street.
Joining me today for that not-so-simple task is Heather Digby Parton of Salon and Digby’s Hullabaloo blog (“Trump plays the networks off each other masterfully.”); John Amato, creator and publisher of the great Crooks and Liars blog (“Trump showed that he’d stand up to Ailes. Nobody in the GOP does that.”); and, of course, our own Desi Doyen.
We also try to make sense of the neck-and-neck, anybody’s-call, jump ball of a Democratic race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, as Iowa prepares for its first-in-the-nation caucuses on both sides of the aisle on Monday.
Become instantly smarter — and enjoy more than a few laughs — by listening to today’s program. Enjoy!

While said in jest, Heather, John, Brad & Des are correct. Pretending to be neutral during Democratic primary struggle between establishment plutocracy and genuine democracy is an act of “political cowardice.”
