[cleanaudioplayer playlist=”{title: ‘The Next American Prime Minister — governmentality’, artist: ‘Allen McDuffee’, mp3: ‘http://traffic.libsyn.com/governmentality/Ep3_Final.mp3’}”]
The 2016 election cycle is in full swing, but with more uncertainty than ever. Only a handful of Democratic candidates are willing to face the party’s frontrunner, yet unpopular, Hillary Clinton. And on the Republican side, nearly 20 candidates representing several factions within the party are vying for the GOP nomination. John Hudak of the Brookings Institution discusses the power dynamics of the 2016 election cycle and why Republican power struggles could mean we wind up with an American prime minister.
In the book chat, Kristen Soltis Anderson discusses her new book, The Selfie Vote, about millennials and how the Republican Party is at risk of losing a generation of voters.
