Episode #304: Sherrod Brown and His Desk of History

Ten Democratic candidates resumed their presidential debate series on Wednesday in Atlanta.  NPR’s Ron Elving sizes up the winners and losers, but he also wonders how many people are watching.

Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown has a new book about his desk in the Senate and some of the progressive champions of the past who previously occupied it.  And spoiler alert:  He says he won’t change his mind, he’s not running for president.

And we replay parts of an interview from 2015 with Roger Stone, in his pre-convicted felon days.  In the interview, he goes through his history with Donald Trump and why he felt even then that Trump was going to go all the way to the White House.
