Let’s be honest: There are zero redeeming qualities to nearly every GOP candidate running — both incumbent and challenger. There’s a reason for that. I explain why we are languishing from an endless feedback loop in which the more Republicans fail to serve as an alternative to Democrats, the worse the country gets and the more they can exploit the desperation of GOP voters to support them. To drive home this point, I’m joined by former Mississippi state Senator Chris McDaniel. He ran for statewide office three times, including in 2014, when he was an inch away from unseating legendary Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.). He explains why conservatives have gone backward in primaries and how they have become a dead end for people who actually want to change the system with no other motivation. Chris represented the movement we had that could have bloomed into everything this current online Right movement claims to support, but that won’t even tune in to primaries to make the difference.
