This week, we bring you two very different views of the current state of the Republican Party courtesy of two of the smartest observers we could find. First, former RNC chair and Mississippi governor Haley Barbour stops by to remind us to be adults and remember that Donald Trump will be a better President than Hillary Clinton. But later, the great Charles Murray (read his incredible essay "Trump's America" here) makes the opposite case: Trump will be an unmitigated disaster to be avoided at all costs. It's a stark contrast in views and --take out word for it -- required listening.
Music from this week’s episode:
When The Word Ends by Dave Matthews Band
