The Scramble Crashed After We Talked Trump

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has had a really bad few weeks. His poll numbers are dropping to the lowest point for any general election candidate in the last three years. He's coming under fire for his response to last week's shootings in Orlando, and for saying U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel -- who is the judge overseeing the fraud case against Trump University -- may be biased against him because of his Mexican heritage.

We planned to speak with Josh Levinexecutive editor at Slate.com and host of the Slate sports podcast, Hang Up and Listen

We also planned to open the phones to your comments about Monday's announcement that the Supreme Court will not hear the challenge to Connecticut's ban on assault weapons.  

Instead,  our phones and computers crashed and Colin vamped about other things, including a great concert he saw Sunday night. This hour probably gives him a new appreciation of the filibuster.
