Summary

Don sits down with Democratic strategist and friend of the show Mike Nellis to break down the latest primary results, the fallout from Thomas Massie’s loss, and what it all says about the current state of American politics. As Donald Trump tightens his grip on the Republican Party, it is becoming clear that loyalty now matters more than principle, policy, or even basic decency. The political bar feels like it’s somewhere beneath the floorboards, and a growing number of Americans seem exhausted by the chaos, division, and nonstop outrage. Where does the country go from here, and what does a path forward actually look like? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
