Don't Get Me StartedTravis Helwig and Mary Sasson Help Us Obsess Over The 2016 US ElectionThere's not enough talk about the elections, we figured, so here's our contribution. We talk to comedians Travis Helwig and Mary Sasson about the 2016 US presidential election. More than in previous elections, we are fascinating with the race this year. How did Trump get here? What went down with Bernie vs. Hillary? Why does everyone want to think everything is rigged? Will the president and congress ever work together? How did Hillary clean Trump's clock in the debates when no one else could (our interpretation)? Also, are we in the middle of World War III?
