Investigations, Indictments, And The Political Future Of Donald Trump
The New Yorker's Susan Glasser talks investigations, indictments and the political future of Donald Trump.
Election year party platforms usually don’t get much attention. But this year’s draft Republican platform is different. It’s making national headlines thanks to comments made by Missouri congressman Todd Akin — and by a widening gap in philosophies within the G.O.P. Akin’s remarks about rape made the party’s proposed adoption of a no-exceptions ban on abortion big news, even though similar restrictions have been in the platform for nearly three decades. Other planks include tougher immigration rules and a decision not to spare mortgage tax deductions. Diane and her guests discuss the Republican party platform and what it could mean for the Romney-Ryan ticket.
Guests
- Kirsten Kukowski Press secretary for the Republican National Committee.
- Norman Ornstein Resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
- Jonathan Allen Congressional reporter for Politico.
- David Keene President of the National Rifle Association and former chair of the American Conservative Union.
- Anna Greenberg Democratic pollster and senior vice president of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research.
