I know how many of you feel about Randi Rhodes.

But her podcast has been great. She loved the Bill Clinton speech, and she has been backing Hillary to the max.

The thing about her is that she is usually right, and now she is backing Hillary. Randi is worth a listen. She is smarter than most of us, and you might not agree all the time, but her research for her show is the best. She taught Maddow how to prepare.

close to saying something like that (me), but now we're backing the ticket....

... at first, there seemed no choice because Trump's a madman.

Once you let go of 'primary campaign mode', it's a little easier to inspect a candidate with a more open mind.... and hey, the Hillary campaign gave Bernie quite a bit on the platform, and I've learned more about Hillary's liberal activism in her youth, and later.

I've been warming to her.


So, do you want to hold the things me and Randi may have said during the primary campaign, against us?

but once the nominee is chosen, you must fall in line...

Unlike a dictatorship which offers only one choice for leader,
our great democracy offers us 2 choices for President.

I'm ecstatic that she's back. No show ever kept me as informed on the issues as her. Thom comes close, but I was really missing her this election season. My chops were stellar before she moved. Couldn't believe she was back! Brash, funny, reeaaally smart. My kinda girl!

When she does politics, I have too many times been on the edge of my seat.

She made quite a splash a couple years back about leaving the country so I am surprised if this is a permanent move back.

It's a Bobby Kennedy ,Sam Seder , and Mike papantonio thing, but randii is better to explain.

I get it on ring of fire, for free, but I will buy her podcast soon. One thing about getting left wing radio, it is harder to get than right wing.

this is her humor... after she finished writing her book, she was missing the political action

She was very excited about Bernie's candidacy. He'd been a welcome guest on her show in years past.
