Anyone hear Norman Goldman here?

He's a talk radio show host that claims to be independent but is basically left wing. I've loved to hear him for years but he's clearly in the Hillary camp and he's convincing progressives to support Hillary, claiming only she can win the GE (Democrats did that with Kerry and Republicans did that with Romney and look what happened.) For someone who claims to be fierce and independent, he seems to be too afraid of losing in November and thus only pretends to have a spine. He also loves conventional political strategy and admires Hillary from time to time and thus likes establishment politics (and, unlike Thom Hartmann, seems to not pay all that much attention to economic inequality.) He claims to be a one issue voter (that all that matters is the supreme court) but I can't stand hearing him anymore. Unfortunately I bought a yearlong subscription from him, but I'm not renewing it!

and jumps right to the SCOTUS angle...he won't address any problems HRC might have with a Repub Congress...he hates the word socialist...and on and on...

I have always liked listening to him and he's a smart guy...unfortunately he is more willing to support the status quo 'one more time' and argues the SCOTUS is the be all and end all...which, on one hand, it CAN be...but, in the meantime, the country gets sold down the river...

he's become a naysayer and I am pretty much not listening lately...I don't mind his support for HRC but he only uses the 'Bernie is un-electable' argument and does little to offer concrete policy, program proposals, experience, etc. strengths of HRC to make his point...

Norman may be fairly left wing....which does not necessarily translate to progressive
