  1. Hartmann, it's healthy to see you admit the recent (40 years) of treachery of the Democratic Party and its affiliates, 00:03 "It used to be running through the Democratic Party up until the 1980's"; it shows some potential for future change. Maybe it’s time for you to again interview the greats on your show. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Chris Hedges or even the more accommodating Thomas Frank grace your studio. However, it is my bet that when the primaries are forced to a second round and the Superdelegates are brought in to eliminate Bernie, you will eventually be promoting the same old corrupt Wall Street candidates as the mainstream media. Now I'm not saying you will be silly enough to sell the plutocratic puppet Biden, but after Sanders and possibly Gabbard, the remaining candidates appear to owe much to Wall Street and they must return the favor. If you were really interested in democracy, you should be teaching your audience how to detect another Obama. Yes Obama, like many of Trump's promises and most before him, promised much and delivered little; and then used deceptive lies and excuses about the status of the house and senate on why they couldn’t deliver. You should be teaching your audience the truth; vote for whoever you want because in this nonexistent democracy and corrupt political system, the plutocrats and Wall Street will always win. And as for Grover Norquist, what a waste of time! Why do you continually insult the intellect of your audience by using the same technique to interview these Mont Pelerin and Koch John Birch Society Libertarians? You must realize you will get the same answers over and over again. Just look at the Mises Institute website and you will get a list of responses designed to spin awkward questions. These institutions and think-tanks (e.g. Heartland Institute) have been designing and generating this deceptive rhetoric for years. This is why, whether you interview Grover Norquist, Charles Sauer, or any "Austrian/Libertarian" promoter, they have a list of responses and they use a "best fit" technique in their attempt fit a “suitable” response to the question asked. So Thomas, you appear to be a little passive and accommodating in your interview strategy; unless your change your strategy, you will continue to get the same repetitive, deceptive, and side-stepping spin to the questions you ask.
