I’m planning to do several podcast episodes in the run-up to the caucuses and primaries that start next month. The first one is a conversation that Julia Azari and I recently had in which we discuss McKay Coppins’ book Romney: A Reckoning. We discuss a lot in there, including what Romney’s career tells us about the Republican Party over the past decade, what authenticity is, how anti-Trumpers tried to prevent Trump’s nomination in 2016, whose careers have been the most affected by Trump, and more. I hope you enjoy the discussion!
