Conversations with Bill Kristol: Paul Begala on the Democratic Party, the Midterms, and 2020
Paul Begala is a veteran Democratic strategist and commentator, and served as counselor to the president in the Clinton White House. In this Conversation, Begala analyzes the key dynamics within the Democratic Party today. Looking ahead to the midterms and to 2020, Begala considers the Democrats’ response to Trump, the tensions between progressives and moderates, and the kinds of candidates that are likely to succeed. Begala also makes a spirited case for why Democrats must defend free speech and liberal principles more generally.

I haven’t listened to it (yet), but “Ha ha ha ha ha – that just ain’t gonna happen!”
I am triggered by this particular podcast and fear that it has the potential to violate my safe space. Would those of a stouter nature venture forth and consider posting your thoughts so that I too may consider a listen? TIA.
Political Class Parasite.
I’m very interested to hear Begala’s take on the Stormy Daniels controversy. I’ll be back…
Finally somebody ballsy enough to go bravely into the night.
As I drove to NY this came up on my podcasts but I didn’t hear who Kristol was interviewing. My wife’s comment after a while, who on earth is that idiot? We really do inhabit totally different worlds from these people.
Who?
