Solid analysis and great introspection

It’s not simple Joe, it is a great sign of maturity to not get caught up on the colors and be able to see this lane of communication. It’s the willingness to communicate to all by any means necessary lol

This week’s show

This was a great episode filled with information we need at this time. I have shared it with all of my democracy groups here in SC. This is our time to take back what the GOP wants to take away. Thank you so much for all you do

Yes!! Moving Forward

As one of those people who did work hard for 2024 elections I really appreciate your 11/9 analysis. We don’t need finger pointing at how “liberal vs centrist” Harris campaign was. That’s useless. I appreciate you recognizing the inherent sexism in our society. I appreciate you recognizing the mistake of not answering the trans attacks (and I had/have a great idea for that lost opportunity). I appreciate you recognizing the futility of old time politics versus the force of the lies and propaganda hate machine that must be answered! Thank you. 🙏🏽

Thank you for the false info for years. Outdated and not in touch with reality. Don’t waste your time.

Best elections analysis out there

I’ve been listening to Joe and Alex for a long time now and never miss an episode. They’re smart, humorous, and explain the election landscape in language anyone can understand. Their guests are the most knowledgeable out there. I trust them as they’ve been in the election trenches and really know how it works. For understanding what’s happening in our elections, this is the only podcast you’ll ever need.

Can you post the link for Sez.us?

10/11 Sez.US & The Lincoln Project?

First Thank You for your expertise on all things regarding voting, keeps me off my roof. Next about promoting sez.US. More advertising please. Can you get together with Reed and Rick from the Lincoln project and do an ad for this platform? Nobody I know knows about it. Because nobody I know is a political nerd like I am. Get your platform out there on YouTube, tik tok, and any other “happening “ podcasts. Get someone “brat” to promote it. Then I think it will take off. As we know the more you rinse and repeat anything, the farther it travels.

Everything Matters episode

Thanks Joe, I love you and Alex and your hopeful attitude and can do attitude! Great Podcast and great work! Question though, I get hundreds of texts and emails a day begging for money or asking me to fill out a “survey” etc. These groups all still think I live in NC and I haven’t lived there for over 2 years! I removed my name from NC voter roll over a year ago too! It doesn’t appear that any of these groups have accurate information on me. How do I fix this???

Out of touch dem

I listen to that Trippi Show to know what older out-of-touch Dems think about politics. A solid source for that take.
The California man

Great show

Joes is the smartest Political Consultant in America. Being from the East Bay and having spent sometime around Jerry Brown who is one of the smartest people ever involved in modern American Politics. But I also know you must be one of the most patient people who ever lived. Jerry is brilliant but can be a giant mind buster. Keep it up love the show!!!!!

Audio Quality

Love the podcast but have significant issues hearing Alex on some episodes. The volume drops when he speaks and adjusting volume higher, blows the roof off when Joe comes back on... I tested on different headphones/speakers and same issue....
ToddOrBillyS

Sane and reassuring

Joe knows what he’s talking about and doesn’t get sucked into today’s spin.

Thank you

Thank you for having an independent mind

Biden step down

Joe please get behind asking Joe to step down. If you don’t, we will lose our democracy to Trump. This is imperative.
Quiet dem in OR

Yes but…

We are voting for Biden because Trump is unthinkable but why not remove the age fear to open up the path to undecided? There is no way we would lose the Biden supporters. It is only a gain. Biden needs to drop out.

Thank you!

Thank you for discussing Biden honestly, rationality and in good faith. I’m disgusted with what the legacy media is trying to do to us. There are so many problems with their coverage but another thing to think about is: I went out and voted for Joe Biden to be my Democratic nominee…so did millions of others across this Country…I hear basically nothing about those of us who have already ACTUALLY voted for him, rather than what the problematic polling may or may not be indicating. I voted FOR BIDEN (against Trump too, of course), but FOR BIDEN over any other possible Democratic Nominee, I did so because I believe he’s the best man for the job

Back ground noise.

I have been an avid listener to That Trippi Show and found the Joe is spot on in terms of election results. He was right in 2020 and 22. At this point this is the ONLY political podcast I listen to. My problem is someone’s phone on the mic table or nearby. The sound of it buzzing is telegraphed to the mic and the result is a lot of phone buzzing. I have contacted them through e mail on numerous occasions and asked politely for them to silence the phone. This has NOT happened. I don’t think there is anything extraordinary about my hearing. I am using Apple AirPods . This seriously affects my enjoyment of the podcast.

Removing your show - Biden Debate critique

After 2 years of listening, your “so what” critique of Biden performance tells me you are not even handed or are plain dumb - either way no longer worth listening to.
NBerault

Thank yoy

I agree with trusting Joe Biden to do what he thinks is best and right. Also turn out is the real unknown. If we go to best voter participation to worst…..? I the government just quits en masse ? ANYWAY, thanks for the optimism. God help us
Wsmuller84

Fix your freaking audio!

Can’t hear you without turning my stereo volume on max. Yours is the only podcast that’s like that. Fix your audio, Joe!

We Need Joe Trippi

We have to start speaking like Joe Trippi and take Trump down with our much deserved righteousness. Trump is a pathetic loser and Joe Trippi makes it known on his podcast. I wish he had one every day,but maybe he is too busy organizing our party to get active and get to the polls.🇺🇸

That Trippi Show is the best!

Joe Trippi and Alex are not only pragmatic, well informed, and with years of experience, but they put on a fabulously entertaining show! I highly recommend every episode!

Experienced Uplifting Analysis

They don’t sugarcoat the dangers we face to democracy or the state of a presidential race they say will be close. But….Trippi makes it clear how badly too many media outlets are doing in the use of polls as well as reporting a “balanced horse race” rather than the fact that the other side is all in for fascism. Tripoli’s words: “I’d rather be us right now than them.” But we must unite, fight and vote.

I learned a lot

I enjoy listening to the in-the-weeds political analysis.

Great podcast

I always feel better listening to Joe Trippi. He has a most positive and refreshing attitude. His guests are the best. Inspiring. He adds a great deal to Lincoln Project. Much appreciated!!!!!
Patti Beth

Optimistic Podcast

I really like to listen to Joe Trippi's positive takes on our politics today. He cites polls and explains them in a way I can understand, and instead of focusing on the age stuff he gets into the weeds of the good things that have come out of the Biden presidency. Keep up the good work Joe Trippi!
Janice Fahy

Joe Trippi knows what time it is and

Is great fun to listen to! Extra fun when Simon Rosenberg swings by to chat.

Question

This may be a silly question but isn’t it possible that the poor souls in Texas or any other state in which many immigrants are crossing and destroying property, etc., who are republican, will wake up and not vote for Trump?

Thanks

Thanks for a great honest podcast where I Always learn something. It’s nice to feel energized and not depressed after listening to electoral politics

C’mon Tim!

I really enjoyed the interview with Tim Alberta, right up until the very end. His analysis of how the republican party came to be what it is today was very useful and spot on, I thought. I was, however, surprised at the end, when he announced that he himself is a Christian. My ears perked up in anticipation of some genuine insight about how to, as you say, break the fever on the right. But all Tim had to offer was that those people should come to Jesus. You gotta be kidding me!! Give me more than that, please! Was that a call to the clergy to step up and remind people of Jesus’s teachings? I have no idea what he meant by that, but I was incredibly disappointed that that was how he summed up the solution. Great show otherwise.
Lindy607

Alex??

Can you please introduce us to who Alex is? I have scoured the internet and cannot figure out who he is! In all the time I’ve listened to the show - I still have no idea!

Episode 201

Episode 201 is playing the audio for episode 200 for me. But hey, it got me to finally write that review!

Rose-Colored Spectacles

The kind of deluded, starry-eyed optimism represented by the December 29 2023 episode is the greatest gift the center-left can give to the MAGA movement to facilitate its aim of ruling the former United States with an iron fist. Stop sleepwalking into authoritarianism, already.
CopaceticInVA

Trippi makes it seem so straightforward

Joe! Would you react to Liz Cheney’s observation that we are all immune from the extreme language that both sides use to talk about the other. This is a false equivalence in that only one side’s rhetoric is true. But it is true that both sides use this alarmist tone. How do you deal with that? Do you need to take another posture to cut through the noise? How? Thanks.
erwarren

Great show!

This is a great show. Joe and Alex have a nice dynamic, sort of like an old chef in the kitchen explaining things and the younger maître d’ keeping the dinner service going smoothly, only it’s not a restaurant but conversations about politics. They’ll keep doing the crazy. We need to keep doing the work. I know stats say that most people only listen for like 20 minutes or something, but I would subscribe for a few bucks a month for the hourlong conversation of some of these topics.
JennyMdUsa

Who is Alex?

I've been listening to this podcast for some time but still can't figure out who the co-host "Alex" is as his full name is never mentioned.
Diesel Queazle

Great insights

Has anyone else noticed Joe sounds almost exactly like Bob Odenkirk? Anyway, great show, I love the political insights and it’s very informative. Gives me some hope.

joe, please answer this one question regarding why dems aren’t big in the latinx community: why don’t dems setup spanish speaking only radio stations like the gop machine had done in order to spread their propaganda in spanish? my god dems are the worse at the game of politics and that hurts me to say so as i am a dem. case in point: mandela barnes lost to greasy dirty liar ron johnson for the senate. johnson said he wasn’t even going to run. no fight, no fight in mandela. obama came and hit back at johnson. if the dnc doesn’t get fighters to run, we are over. it’s not hard to push back on these maga/ron johnson candidates there was so much barnes could have tossed in johnson’s face but mandela did not have the fight in him so please stop promoting non-fighters.

Hair on fire

Great. I love your show. You always talk positive and never cut President Biden like some of my other podcast. These pro democracy people are the ones running around with their hair on fire abt the polls. Democrats need to promote the President. They talk abt what maga talks abt his age etc. Now they are floundering around looking for new candidates You never ever do this. Thank you. You make my day Becky
