Shownotes Transcript

If the Republican Party is no longer the party of Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, limited government, or fiscal restraint, then what is it? And what's a self-respecting, small-government, fiscally conservative, socially liberal voter supposed to do? In his new book, Ryan Sager argues that George W.

Please join us for a spirited discussion of the Republican Party's present and future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy) for more information.
