Approval ratings for every U.S. Senator in the country came out Thursday, on the eve of the Senate impeachment trial. They look bad for a number of Republicans. Domke and Douglas dive into Common Purpose’s 2020 U.S. Senate strategy.

Corey Booker ran out of money. Domke and Douglas discuss his effect on the race and on the narrowing field. Presidential campaigns are a journey. Some candidates fall away, but the work goes on.

Domke and Douglas, like all Common Purpose leadership, do their work wherever they are as they gear up for the 2020 elections. Common Purpose is daily making new contacts with groups who are doing voters registration work around the country. Are you ready? Are you responsible? Today's topics include the impeachment process as it appears about to be moved to the US Senate early next week. Also, what are the limits on presidential power and what are the political impacts of President Trump’s drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani? These topics and much more on this episode of our podcast, With Common Purpose.

Impeachment. Joe Biden and AOC. Donald Trump. The US Senate. Douglas and Domke hit a bunch of hot political topics in a lightning-round discussion.

Breaking news. Julian Castro is out of the presidential race. Another candidate of color leaves the stage. On the campaign trail, Julian Castro criticized the primary system for keeping Iowa and New Hampshire as the first voting states. Castro believed, and Domke and Douglas agree, that the predominantly white voters of those states have too much influence on the presidential race.  A change has to come. Reacting critically to breaking news provides useful context to our quickly evolving political landscape.
