111: Senator Angus King

Politicon
About this episode
James and Al celebrate the diversity of winners in the 11/2 election, mourn Virginia and examine where McAuliffe went wrong.  Then, they are joined by Senator Angus King (I) of Maine to look at politics in his state and the reforms the Senate needs to become effective and regain the trust of the American people.  Should we start by getting rid of the filibuster and giving power back to the majority party?
