In this episode of Civil Discord, Jaffee is on hiatus so Phillips is joined by frequent guest Daniel Cronrath, Professor of Political Science at Florida State College at Jacksonville. Their original plan was to discuss the first Presidential debate, but this plan was upended by Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis. The episode begins with some “what if” scenarios that imagine the possible impact of Trump’s illness on the campaign, and the society. This is followed by an irreverent analysis of the debate, and a discussion of the politics surrounding a possible second stimulus package to offset the economic damage wrought by the pandemic. The episode closes with Cronrath’s analysis of Florida ballot initiatives.
