Topic: 2016 Primary

ABC News reports on conservative intellectuals labeling Donald Trump a "charlatan" and a "tapeworm" invading the Republican Party. Former First Lady Barbara Bush enters the campaign trail to support her son Jeb Bush, criticizing Trump's ego in a new advertisement. Trump responds by mocking Jeb Bush for seeking help from his mother and his husband while highlighting his own lead in Iowa polls.

As the Iowa caucuses approach, Bernie Sanders uses a Simon & Garfunkel song in a campaign ad while Hillary Clinton questions if Americans are ready for a socialist president. The hosts mock Sanders' choice of 1970s music. The episode concludes with a series of audio clips and a reminder of the next broadcast on Thursday.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush expresses frustration with the 2016 primary process, stating he has "better things to do" than deal with political gridlock and demonization. The hosts characterize Bush as a "spoiled brat" whose campaign has been derailed by Donald Trump's aggressive tactics. They suggest the Bush family intended for Jeb to be the next president but failed to account for the populist shift in the electorate.

Political analysts are debating the potential for a primary challenge against Hillary Clinton by Senator Elizabeth Warren. While Clinton has significant financial backing from Wall Street, Warren is viewed as more likable and better aligned with the Democratic base, potentially leading to a repeat of Clinton's 2008 primary loss.

The hosts analyze the potential primary matchup between Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, noting that the Democratic base often favors more radical candidates. They describe Clinton as a "neoliberal" and suggest that some Obama supporters are apprehensive about her candidacy. The discussion posits that while Clinton is more electable in a general election, Warren's populist appeal could disrupt the establishment's plans.
