2/6 Michael Kinnucan on Why Republicans Are Impressive

February 6, 2017

Michael Kinnucan (@MichaelKinnucan) joins us to discuss his new article Why Republicans Are Impressive.

How Democrats lost their way after the GOP majorities of the 80s and turned into a moderate corporate party of the status quo.
