In this episode of The Weeds, Ezra, Matt, and Sarah discuss the results of Super Tuesday. Everyone is tired, so it gets a bit weird. Topics include whether Donald Trump is actually a moderate, how the election shows American politics is either polarizing or depolarizing, and whether Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton would be a stronger general election candidate.
