John Fugelsang Gets Real on the 2016 Election Shit-Show
John Fugelsang skewers the 2016 Presidential Election-from Bernie and Hillary’s muted war of words, to Trump’s outrageous bid for the Republican nomination-in this frank, hilarious, and uncensored talk. What the New Hampshire primary said about the campaign, the arguments of ageism, feminism, and sexism in the contest, and the special appeal that Donald Trump has for the Boss Hogg vote are all revealed. We also learn why Jeb Bush is so necessary to the process, and wonder if the primaries will leave voters too hurt to elect anyone, in this Media Mayhem interview hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
