But they may need to start thinking about it right now. <b>JIM WILLIAMS<\/b>, Issue Polling Specialist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicpolicypolling.com\/about\/\">at Public Policy Polling<\/a>, joins us to explain what that one thing is, as based on recent survey data collected by his firm in Arizona and Iowa. [<i>Audio link to show is posted below.<\/i>]\n<p>Also today, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/justice-dept-winds-down-clinton-related-inquiry-once-championed-by-trump-it-found-nothing-of-consequence\/2020\/01\/09\/ca83932e-32f9-11ea-a053-dc6d944ba776_story.html#click=https:\/\/t.co\/fySQzGeQom\">report by <i>Washington Post<\/i><\/a> reveals that the Department of Justice investigation of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation that Trump demanded after becoming President has yielded&#8230;nothing. No criminal charges or anything close to it will reportedly be brought after a review begun by Trump&#8217;s former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017, as assigned to Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber, quietly wrapped up months ago. Even the matter regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2017\/10\/facts-uranium-one\/\">Uranium One<\/a>, a Canadian company in which a Russian firm was allowed to purchase a controlling stake, reveals no wrongdoing, no bribes paid to the Clinton Foundation while she served as Secretary of State. No nothing.<\/p>\n<p>In short, between this probe and a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/18\/us\/politics\/state-dept-inquiry-clinton-emails.html\">report by the State Department&#8217;s Inspector General<\/a> finding, after a three-year probe, no criminal wrongdoing in Clinton&#8217;s use of a private email server, it turns out that all of the nonsense that Trump exploited to lead &#8220;LOCK HER UP!&#8221; chants and his calls for throwing her in jail during his 2016 rallies (and beyond) was entirely B.S. Or, to put it another way, it was all a witch hunt hoax.  Who knew? Oh, yeah, we told you as much long ago.<\/p>\n<p>All of that, even as the disgraced, now-impeached President has seen his own &#8220;charitable&#8221; foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2018\/dec\/18\/trump-foundation-shutdown-lawsuit\">ordered shut down<\/a> by a New York Court, which found a &#8220;pattern of illegality&#8221; in is fraudulent operations, ordering Trump to pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2019\/11\/07\/777287610\/judge-says-trump-must-pay-2-million-over-misuse-of-foundation-funds\">millions in penalties<\/a>, and as the Dept. of Justice investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election has resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/interactive\/2017\/politics\/russia-investigations\/#\/charges\">199 criminal counts against 37 people and entities<\/a>, seven of whom have pleaded guilty (many of whom were top officials in the Trump Campaign and Trump Administration], with six (so far) sentenced to prison and as many as 10 counts of <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1670783\/all-the-evidence-of-obstruction-of-justice-in-muellers-report\/\">obstruction of justice by Trump<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n<p>The phony &#8220;LOCK HER UP!&#8221; campaign which arguably resulted in Trump&#8217;s Presidency was not only made possible, but actually enabled &#8212; shamefully &#8212; by corporate mainstream media which legitimized what was otherwise clearly little more than a bogus, orchestrated hit campaign by Trump and his Rightwing media machine in 2016. We have a word or two to say about all of that on today&#8217;s program, even as Trump is currently using the same playbook to falsely discredit Joe Biden (and, undoubtedly, whoever else may win the Democratic nomination this year.)<\/p>\n<p>For some slightly more encouraging news today, we turn to North Carolina, where a federal judge has, once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2020\/jan\/01\/north-carolina-voter-id-law-blocked-discriminatory\">shut down the state Republican legislature&#8217;s latest scheme<\/a> to enact Photo ID voting restrictions in 2020, finding it an attempt at discriminatory voter suppression. The ruling comes after a different federal judge had found the state GOP&#8217;s previous scheme to restrict voting (by certain voters) in the very closely divided swing-state to have been written specifically to <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=11780\">&#8220;target African-Americans with almost surgical precision.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But with all of that, the Iowa Caucuses are just weeks away now, followed by the New Hampshire primary and many others shortly thereafter. And while <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/477508-poll-buttigieg-sanders-surge-to-set-up-4-way-tie-in-new-hampshire\">polls suggest<\/a> there is no clear front-runner for the nomination, did we mention PPP&#8217;s Williams is here to explain what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicpolicypolling.com\/polls\/democratic-unity-will-determine-trumps-fate\/\">firm&#8217;s data show<\/a> to be an almost certain way to defeat Donald Trump once and for all this November, no matter who Dems choose as their nominee?&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\".\/Images\/Speaker_Icon_24.png\" style=\"width: 24px; float: none; vertical-align: middle;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;\"> <b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/BradCast_BradFriedman-DoJClintonProbeEnds_JimWilliams-HowDemsDefeatTrump_011020.mp3\">CLICK TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SHOW!&#8230;<\/a><\/i><\/b><br \/>\n[audio:http:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/BradCast_BradFriedman-DoJClintonProbeEnds_JimWilliams-HowDemsDefeatTrump_011020.mp3]<\/blockquote>\n<p><center><b>* * *<\/b><\/center><i>While we post <a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/BradCast\"><\/i>The BradCast<i><\/a> here every day, and you can hear it across all of our great affiliate stations and websites, to automagically get new episodes as soon as they&#8217;re available sent right to your computer or personal device, subscribe for free at <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/id803467610\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pandora.com\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/PC:1000025838\">Pandora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/radio\/The-BradCast-with-Brad-Friedman-p477565\/\">TuneIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9icmFkYmxvZy5jb20vcG9kY2FzdGdlbi9icmFkY2FzdC9mZWVkLnhtbA\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-BradCast-w-Brad-Friedman\/dp\/B08JJRN86R\/ref=sr_1_1\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/podcastgen\/bradcast\/feed.xml\">our native RSS feed<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><!--BB-DONATEPITCH-START--><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f0e0; border:2px solid #6b5a2e; border-radius:6px; padding:10px 14px; text-align:center; font-family:Georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"display:block; margin:0 0 8px 0; color:#3a2e0e; font-size:0.95em; line-height:1.5;\"><strong>The BRAD BLOG<\/strong>, <em>The BradCast<\/em> and <em>Green News Report<\/em> are all 100% independent and 100% listener and reader supported!<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/Donate\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#6b5a2e; color:#ffffff; padding:6px 18px; border-radius:4px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:0.9em;\">Please CLICK HERE to help support our work today!<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--BB-DONATEPITCH-END--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On today&#8217;s BradCast: There is one neat, simple trick that Democrats and opponents of Donald Trump can do to make sure that he is no more than a one-term President this November.
