176: Mary & Judy

<div>With Christmas just around the corner, James and Al welcome their wives Judy Woodruff and Mary Matalin to ring in the season with some holiday stories.  Then, they take on the corruption of the Republican party, contrast Trump and Nixon, and lay out the perils of dark money and why it’s a winning issue.  Should the Democrats be focused on the big issues with more than 2/3rds support instead of wedge topics catering to the base?<br> <br> Email your questions to James and Al at <a href="mailto:politicswarroom@gmail.com">politicswarroom@gmail.com</a> or tweet them to<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@politicon"> @politicon</a>.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!<br> <br> <strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest:</strong><br> <br> <strong>Mary Matalin:</strong><br> <a href="https://www.matalin.info/">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&amp;rh=p_27%3AMary+Matalin&amp;s=relevancerank&amp;text=Mary+Matalin&amp;ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2">Author</a>  <br> <br> <strong>Judy Woodruff:</strong><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/JudyWoodruff">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/judy-woodruff">PBS NewsHour </a><br> <br> <strong>Please Support This Week’s Sponsors</strong><br> <br> <strong>Reel Paper:</strong><br> For little lemur Reel Paper products and 30% off and free shipping on your first order, go to <a href="https://reelpaper.com/products/reel-little-lemurs-box?utm_source=podcast">reelpaper.com/lemur</a> and use promo code: <strong>WARROOM</strong><br> <br> <strong>Miracle Brand:</strong><br> For 40% off high quality self-cooling sheets with 3 free towels that makes a great holiday gift, go to <a href="https://try.miraclebrand.co/sheets/ksp-v5/?utm_source=Podcast_Warroom&amp;utm_medium=Podcasting&amp;utm_campaign=Warroom">trymiracle.com/warroom</a> and use the promo code: <strong>WARROOM</strong><br> <br> <strong>HoldOn Bags:</strong><br> Save 20% when you replace your single use plastic by visiting <a href="https://holdonbags.com/">holdonbags
