Episode Synopsis

Mayor Pete. Mayor Cheat. Wall Street Pete. No matter the moniker, how well do we really know this dude who none of us had heard about until less than a year ago? Answer: not very well. But, it doesn't matter. For the more you dig in, the more you realize he's smoke and mirrors. In addition, Bernie Sanders has a broad coalition of unwavering supporters; Pete doesn't. Like 2016's Republican primaries, when the media focused so closely on the events of the each day that it couldn't see the forest for the trees and thus proclaimed all sorts of winners as long as they weren't Donald Trump, this is happening with the Democrats in 2020. Bernie Sanders is your nominee, Dems. Deal with it. In the meantime, sure, I'll spend an episode explaining why Pete B. sucks. Then, you'll get chapters 11 and 12 of "The Teacher and the Tree Man" where the main plot of the book really kicks into gear as well and a historic event shakes Lucas and his world to the core.
