The final night of the Republican National Convention reached beyond the base with affecting speakers and profoundly compelling themes. And then, Donald Trump sucked all the air out of the room with a disappointing acceptance speech.

National Affairs editor Yuval Levin joins the show to discuss these issues and more.

    I think a lot of people don’t care about Trump’s speech because they are not voting for Trump but against the Democrat run hell hole coming to a town near you.

    98% of republicans will be voting for President Trump.  We welcome “a lot of”  independents and Walk Away Democrats who will join us in what projects to be significant percentages.
