That Trippi Show

First, a listener asks how a campaign can use the insane interview Trump did with Axios this week (1:00) and if any of this seemingly unshakable stuff actually sticks to the president (6:28). Next, Joe weighs in on an Axios report that the VP choice is down to Susan Rice and Kamala Harris, and how the Obamas -- and maybe even another former president -- will help Joe Biden on the campaign trail. (7:30) Then, Joe talks about how to fight back when Trump tries to delegitimize the election results -- there's a simple strategy. (17:37) Finally, why Joe is not surprised that Republicans are helping Kanye West get on the ballot in several states, and what we all can do about it. (25:00) Learn more about your ad choices.

First, Joe quickly talks about Trump's ludicrous claim he wants to postpone the election and what potentially consequential message it's sending straight to his loyal Republican voters. (:30) Next, the Trump campaign has stopped running ads in Michigan this month. Are they waving the white flag in a critical state already? What opportunities does this present the Biden campaign? (2:43) After that, Joe and Alex try to read the tea leaves on VP, and Joe explains something about how hard it is to become VP from someone who's seen candidates vetted up close. (10:08) Then, Joe explains how a historical precedent from another one-term president could help predict what's going to happen in the Senate elections this fall (14:55), and one particularly interesting wrinkle in the 2020 election. Finally, a question from a listener about the future of the GOP - what does it look like beyond the Trump era? Or will the Trump era ever actually end? (21:30) Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe and sidekick Alex Shashlo start by diving into the double-digit lead Biden holds over President Trump in national polls and why this truly is different from 2016 (1:00). Joe weighs in on the "secret Trump voter," (8:20) and why the Biden campaign buying ads in Texas could be brilliant (11:20). Then, Joe weighs in on reports that former Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- a Republican -- will speak on behalf of Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention (13:20). Joe highlights this as a major opportunity for the party, and not a reason for Democrats to be up in arms. Finally, Joe says who he'd select for VP if he were Biden (19:30).
