Summary

Helen Andrews and Emile Doak, co-editors of Main Street Conservatism: The Future of the Right - Lessons from 20 Years of the American Conservative, join The Realignment as a tie-in to yesterday's "Realignment Live" event. They discuss the right's political realignment through the lenses of American culture, political economy, foreign policy, and faith & family, why the issues that drove Trump's election aren't going away, and why their brand of "main street" conservatism is the only way to bridge the chasm between voters and the DC professional class.

0:25.2	titled Main Street Conservatism, the Future of the Right, Lessons from 20 years of the American

1:41.1	should definitely check that out. They haven't checked it out already. But we are here to speak
