Summary

This week on Unorthodox, Mel Gibson gives tzedakah.

Our Gentile of the Week is Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini, who tells us what the future of data and technology looks like for political campaigns, and the value of data under a president who is openly dismissive of unfavorable polls.
