An Unbelievable Partisan Divide During the COVID-19 Pandemic

What should the Republican leadership do?

"Look back to their past"

Both sides in this split segment episode did not know the other had given the same response.

Solomon Gibson, III - Progressive Democrat & Bill Hendrickson, Conservative "Classic" Independent answer most of the same questions in these interviews, each pre-recorded separately by phone.  

Segment 1 begins with Solomon Gibson disagreeing with me that there is a partisan divide and we immediately continue the already planned discussion anyway, expanding our views. As a producer, my conceived concepts for discussion were fundamentally opposite of those Solomon feels very passionately about, and we respectfully explored why.

Segment 2 continues with Bill Hendrickson, historically a Republican now self-identifying as an Independent, described the classic views held by the Conservative Republican Party in the decades preceding our COVID-19 challenges.  He presented a classic conservative set of view points, tempered heavily with the open-mindedness he attributed to his wife's and his dedication to being in touch with what is common to all human needs.
