So, on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, we try to make some sense of it all. Wish us luck!<\/p>\n

I’m joined today by our returning champions, Heather Digby Parton<\/b> of Salon<\/a> and Digby’s Hullabaloo<\/a> blog and Fred Karger<\/b>, former longtime GOP political consultant and 2012 GOP Presidential candidate<\/a> (the first openly gay candidate from either major party).<\/p>\n

And, of course, we offer you<\/i> some of the smartest (and, occasionally, snarkiest) post-debate analysis and insight you’ll find anywhere, as Trump and Cruz (and a few other folks) face off just two weeks before the first votes of 2016 are finally cast and, maybe, counted in Iowa…<\/p>\n
