Whoo-hoo! Conservative Greg Belfrage invited liberal me on KELO this morning to help make great bipartisan radio. I took up Belfrage’s challenge to come up with the big four stories of the week:
- Democratic Senator Billie Sutton announced Wednesday that he’s running for Governor;
- Energy Transfer Partners hired mercenaries to infiltrate and undermine the Dakota Access Pipeline protests;
- President Emmanuel Macron invites Americans to come to France, their “second homeland,” to “make the planet great again“; and…
- …just for kicks, the White House budget makes Donald Trump the spokesman for sexual abstinence.
Belfrage laughed at #4, then explored further Sutton’s chances in the gubernatorial race. I say that any Democrat in this state could base a campaign entirely on the fear that Donald Trump will take away our health insurance. With GEAR UP now piled on top of EB-5, Belfrage sees corruption as a more potent issue for Democrats to campaign on in 2018 than they could in 2014.
Belfrage then turned our conversation to a big story on his list, the nonmeandered waters issue a Legislative committee is prepping today for consideration at a special session.
