Podcasts about contested convention

In this episode, John Hancock and Michael Kelley analyze the contrasting states of the Republican and Democratic parties. Kelley highlights the GOP convention's success and the Democrats' disarray, citing approval ratings in the mid to high 30s. Michael critiques Trump's lengthy and dark speech, noting it missed an opportunity to change the narrative. The conversation delves into the possibility of Democrats replacing Biden on the ticket to prioritize winning over personalities.

Despite his assurances to the contrary, Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee is far from a lock. What happens if the DNC winds up hosting a contested convention? In this episode we delve into a brief history of contested conventions and draw upon prior examples to demonstrate how progressives can use a contested convention to their advantage and get the so-called progressive movement back on track.

Amid concerns of President Joe Biden's fitness to serve another four years in office, an Illinois congressman says he should step down. But a delegate says the party must unite ahead of the convention. Speaking with MSNBC Friday, Illinois U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley said Biden should secure his legacy. “The only thing that you can do now to cement that for all time and to prevent utter catastrophe is to step down and let somebody else do this,” Quigley said.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx

These days nominating conventions are about party morale -- celebrating and formally anointing the chosen candidate. There hasn’t been a contested convention — a convention when there is no clear winner on the ballot — since 1952. What actually happens when states have to vote more than once? NHPR Fellow Tat Bellamy-Walker guest hosts for this episode on contested conventions with Shannon Bow O’Brien.

Lee Saunders is the head of one of the country’s largest unions, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. He talks about why union membership has steadily gone down for decades, how an adverse ruling at the Supreme Court rejuvenated his union, and what it takes to lead a large organization effectively.He also talks about the Democratic National Committee process to change the primary rules, and how the Democrats should not change the rules again to help Bernie Sanders avoid a contested convention if he has the most delegates but less than a majority. The outro song is a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who was assassinated in 1968 after marching with the Memphis sanitation workers, who were on strike and attempting to join AFSCME Local 1733. Outro music: "They Killed Him" by Bob Dylan (words by Kris Kristofferson) Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelonggame. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Joe Biden won the South Carolina Primary by almost 50% (48%), complicating the 2020 electoral race. Drew and Alex analyze the state of the Democratic Party, what may happen on Super Tuesday, and why the country may be heading towards a “Contested Convention ” which may only favor Trump. They also analyze the record of Bernie Sanders and whether the country is ready for the revolution he is promising.

Mike Bloomberg looked unprepared, unqualified, and mystified that he could not control the stage in the face of the onslaught from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. It was glorious.--All of the candidates except Sanders said they would be okay with a brokered convention. Basically, they're willing to use the super delegate process to secure their own victory even if that means taking democracy away from the voters. ***** PATRONS ONLY CONTENT BEYOND THIS POINT *****We cannot wait until the convention. We have to address this seizure of democracy now. Let's let the democrats know that we are all walking on a political knife's edge and if they steal our hope from us...---AOC is wokebae. She doesn't center rich men in her universe, she centers working families. -- Finally, this is all about you.

This week, we deep-dive into the results from the New Hampshire primary. Then, as the campaigns go west, we get Harry's Forecast for Nevada. Plus, we discuss Mike Bloomberg's rise in recent polls, along with the renewed scrutiny from his time as New York City mayor.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Amanda and Bryan are back to talk about all the crazy sh*t happening in the news, starting with a big court decision out of Australia. The main news is all about Trump’s impeachable offenses… no, not those ones. Trump’s intervention in the Justice Department’s sentencing of his longtime friend and advisor Roger Stone is being referred to as his worst abuse of power yet. If only there were a remedy for such offenses… The Election Section is all about results out of New Hampshire and if the Buttigieg/Sanders victories are actually bringing them closer to the nomination. This brings them to One More Thing, where they break down the Democratic nomination process and what happens if no candidates make it to the convention with enough delegates to be nominated.

Are we headed for a "brokered" convention in the 2020 Democratic primary? What happened when Elizabeth Warren was protested by charter school supporters? Why is Cory Booker writing pro-charter editorials again? How much charter school PAC money is NYS Senator Kevin Parker taking and why? What's the latest with the NY yeshiva controversy and more. Original air date Nov. 25, 2019.

This week on the Curmudgeon's Corner podcast Sam and Ivan spend most of the show on Election 2016. On the Republican side they discuss how recent results and the polls of upcoming states seem to be closing the door on the possibility of a contested convention and pointing to a straight up Trump nomination, as well as discussing Cruz/Fiorina, and what might make Trump worse than Cruz. On the Democratic side the discussion is on how Sanders seems to be finally admitting defeat, and on the veepstakes! Finally, they wrap it up with a lightning round covering all sorts of other issues they haven't gotten around to lately.

Trump wins big last night. He will be the closest than any other candidate to the  1237 by July. If the RNC does not have Trump at the top of the ticket I contend ( and almost fear) we will hear at the next State of the Union... ladies and gentleman the President of the United States Hillary Clinton. Why you may ask and/or you may genuinely disagree, but the millions of disaffected Trump supports will not come out to vote and Cruz cannot win New York, Pennsylvania, or California in the General Election. Trump has a much better chance at this. Also, Trump also would do better with independents and libertarians. We discuss with U.S. Congressional candidate for the Green Party Dennis Lambert on how to Make America Great Again. Also, who would YOU suggest to be Donald Trump's VP running mate? Join us to hear about his platform. It will not be what you think.  Our Guest:  He is not taking ANY corporate donations to his campaign and is running as a TRUE representative of the American People. He joined the Army after graduating from Paul Blazer High School. Dennis has worked for several non-profit organizations trying to improve his community over the last twenty-five years and has grown sick of the corporate owned two-party system.  From his Website: There is only one choice for the Representative of the 6th District of Ohio in Congress. Dennis Lambert wants you to participate in our democracy. If you don’t vote, you can’t expect the corruption in government to end, and if you don’t vote for Dennis Lambert, you are voting to keep corruption in our Federal Government.

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan are joined by Amy, a first time presidential voter, who talks about her experience in the Washington State Democratic caucus process as a Sanders supporter trying to become a Sanders delegate. In addition, Ivan and Sam cover the usual Election 2016 highlights, and for some reason also discuss two different trips to Toronto.

Chris Spangle, Greg Lenz, and Harry Price discuss their recent adventures within the Libertarian Party, Chris and Greg go to a Trump rally, Harry explains hacking, and Emily Bewley explains “dad culture.”

The RNC and Ted Cruz have their wooing of the delegates and talk of Contested Convention to take delegates' support from Donald Trump. The Democrats have their Superdelegates to tilt the balance in Hillary Clinton's favor to stave off Bernie Sanders. Is this Democracy? Are the two parties and the Political Class showing their disdain for the American voter? Bards Logic welcomes Green Party U.S. Senate candidate Joe Demare to discuss his campaign, the problems with the two-party system, and taking our vote back from the Political Class.  Our Guest: Joe is someone who understands that it's time for things to change. For too long, the wealthiest people and corporations have been in control of this country, and they have been putting into place laws and policies that benefit them, while hurting the majority of Americans. It's time that changed. Joe is not a member of the 1%. As a machine operator in an industrial ceramics factory, he has to work hard, but still has to budget every dollar to get through each month. As the father of two young men in their 20's, he's someone who sees the challenges young people face today, trying to find good jobs that pay well. As a husband of thirty years, he understands the economic and social forces that are tearing families apart. As a Green, he understands that the best way to create a sustainable future is by getting involved in the political process, but not falling for the corporate and money traps that have so distorted our government. That's why he will not accept any campaign contributions from corporations or corporate PAC's.

What is a contested convention? Part 1 by North County OG's Podcast

It is WAL picture day! Chris Spangle, Greg Lenz, Chloe Anagnos, Brett Bittner, Aaron, Tyler Weiss, Hannah Cook, and Harry Price all gathered to have their photos taken by Troy Hill. Then everyone sat down to the podcast at various times. We discuss where the tea party began and ended, and where their votes are going for President. And then we debate if the Republicans will have a contested convention.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan talk about Election 2016 of course. But first some bits about Mike the headless chicken, the comments on Sam's Election Graphs site, stamp prices, Hey Siri, and a movie Sam watched. When they do get to the election they cover Trump's shutout in Colorado, Trump's general malpractice in delegate wrangling, the odds of a contested convention, the accusations of cheating in both parties, and much more!

In this episode Javier and Joe discuss the Civil War brewing inside Fox News; Conservative pundits taking sides, are we having a contested convention and our story of the week! Cannot miss!!

How are campaigns wooing unbound delegates? Who keeps a contested convention fair? How will social media change the process? The NPR Politics team puts these questions to leading Republican election lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg, who knows everything there is to know about what might happen at a contested GOP convention later this year. This episode: host/campaign reporter Sam Sanders, congressional correspondent Susan Davis, and political editor Domenico Montanaro. Find the team on Twitter @samsanders, @DaviSusan, and @DomenicoNPR, or write the show at nprpolitics@npr.org. More coverage at nprpolitics.org.

On Curmudgeon's Corner this week Sam and Ivan talk about the iPhone SE, the Panama Papers, and Tesla Model 3 before diving into Election 2016. On the election they of course cover the Wisconsin results, the outlook for the next states, the bleak view for Sanders, and of course the possibilities of a contested convention on the Republican side. With a few other random things thrown in for good measure.

Today's show focuses on The Donald's Implosion from the past week. The GOP higher ups don't want him despite his success in the primaries. Delegate votes will factor in. The RNC delegate voters don't want to publicly support The Donald. The Donald's comments to Chris Matthews about Japan being equipped with nuclear bomb capability may have been the last straw. The Tedster's efforts in securing delegate voter support may be the demise of The Donald. What exactly is a "contested convention" Lee looks at this complicated scenario of the RNC convention and what to expect in the event of The Donald NOT reaching his 1237 delegate votes for his first ballot nomination.  No live calls. This is a prerecorded podcast. 

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan hit all the things you would expect about Election 2016, the attacks in Brussels and the announcements at the latest Apple event. They also talk a bit about fitness, #ManInTree, Waze, Obama in Cuba and more! Even a bit about events in the Nixon administration!

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about Sam's son's trip to the doctor, they respond to a bunch of listener feedback, talk a bit about Apple and Nancy Reagan, and then finally jump into Election 2016. Within that topic they cover the charges of Trump inciting violence, the delegate math, what might happen at a contested convention, explanations for the Sanders win in Michigan... and more!

The Knowledge Wonderland today is full of political surprises. Yes, Michigan was a surprise, a great sign for Bernie Sanders, and a sign of trouble for Hillary Clinton. Marc walks through how to not over or under-interpret what happened. Then: a master class in Donald Trump. Why? Who? How in the hell? And why, when he angers people like me, he wins supporters among people who don't think like me. Finally, Marc brings you a quick and crude guide to a contested Republican convention. What are the scenarios, and how likely is it that, say, John Kasich wins the nomination? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
