In this episode, we wrap up our coverage of the DNC Chair race by discussing the final DNC Chair debate before the vote. Additionally, we’ll discuss corporate Democrats such as Claire McCaskill and Joe Manchin, and discuss Trumpism in America when it comes to Betsy DeVos and Scott Pruitt with respect to the danger they pose in their government positions.
