    to outline the shift from Ronald Reagan conservatism to the nationalist and populist platform of President Trump

    I always saw Reagan as both a nationalist and a populist, so not a terribly radical shift here. But of course, I don't define those terms in the purely negative (and misleading) way that some try to, in order to make them scary. (And I am not accusing the hosts of doing so here.)

    Good discussion!
