Great discussion with Professor Kesler of Claremont McKenna College about his upcoming essay "Donald Trump and the Conservative Cause".  It's a long piece but it's also essential reading for anyone who wants to understand this election and American political history.  Kesler argues, among other things, that Trump may hearken back to an older form of republicanism, one that was considered mainstream from the time of Lincoln.  Listen to the whole thing.  Kesler is an expert in American political history and on the American Founding.  He's a Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute and the Editor In Chief of The Claremont Review of Books.
