Buckle up!  Bringing on a right-leaning voice to talk politics. I start with a COVID-19 update and 

My friend Chritine joins the POD to talk life and politics. She is a local friend, wife, mother, and lifelong Republican in her 30s who is one of those Romney-Hillary voters.  

Before she joins I discuss how my generation is soft and about time we deal with some hardship.  I also discuss one of the very specific things I miss from "normal life" (0:00-4:41

Moving to the burbs/finance job/health challenge- We start talking about how we met in our town's version of "couple speed dating".  We then discuss Christine's fortunate trajectory as an Investment Banker.  Then talk about a traumatic medical diagnosis juxtaposted with starting a family and buying a house.(4:44-19:30)

Politics, Politics, Politcs!-  We hit politics and discuss Christine's political idenity, voting history, family affiliation, news consumption and bias, Cumo's appeal(19:31-29:11)

We then discuss Republican and Democratic party ideals & marketing, debate the American dream, and largest COVID-19 fears & coping (29:12-41:24)

Then we talk about the media reaction to Trump- fair or unfair, as well as our own personal perceptions of Trump as a president and talk about the notion of Bernie frightening certain people as a Socialist, BIden's enthusiasm gap, and Christine's most important issues including GUNS and her stance on them might surprise you.  We end with a discussion of how my wife's heart drives her politics and she lives it with her very generous tipping.  We end with PREDICTIONS on what wil, happen in November with the election(41:22-1:09:40)
