Podcast for America is your inside look at the metaphorical piñata that is a presidential campaign cycle. Your hosts are Mark Leibovich, national correspondent for New York Times Magazine, and Annie Lowrey of New York magazine.

This week, we recount the aftermath from the first Republican primary debates. What Trump did, what Trump said, and how long he can boogie board on this crazy wave of support.

Next, we look at Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer’s outspoken opposition to the Iran nuclear deal and whether this could shift opinions in the Senate.

Lastly, we dive into Hillary Clinton’s proposed college plan and attack on student loan debt. Could this be the remedy she needs to boost her ailing poll numbers?
