What Is It We Are Actually Fighting FOR? | 7/16/24
1Description
A comprehensive discussion of JD Vance, my thoughts on the convention, and how we have an entire party and movement that are clueless about what they believe. Today is a foundational show where we discuss false dichotomies in populism and the difference between unbridled populism and conservative populism. Too many Republicans are now embracing straight-up socialism under the guise of appealing to the working class, when in fact there is a much better way. I offer some suggestions. With that, I explain the good and the bad with JD Vance. He’s good on social issues and foreign policy but is confused on economic policy. Overall, JD is the best of the names Trump was considering but will not move Trump to the right unless we build a movement around him. Most of all, the fact that Trump picked JD is evidence that he still cares about what the base thinks. We must use our clout with him rather than allowing him to drift.
