Episode 150 – Brad Todd: Great Revolt
Veteran Republican strategist Brad Todd joined Teer and Jason to talk about a book he co-wrote with syndicated columnist and CNN contributor Salena Zito. ‘The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics,’is an in-depth examination of the 2016 presidential election. Brad and Selena examine the why and how of the outcome of the election and then look to how 2016 will influence elections to come.
Playing a big role in all of this was Trump’s conservative-evangelical base. What does this mean for Christian influencers and candidates in elections to come? That and more on this episode of Crackers and Grape Juice.
From the publisher – The Great Revolt delves deep into the minds and hearts of the voters the make up this coalition. What emerges is a group of citizens who cannot be described by terms like “angry,” “male,” “rural,” or the often-used “racist.” They span job descriptions, income brackets, education levels, and party allegiances. What unites them is their desire to be part of a movement larger than themselves that puts pragmatism before ideology, localism before globalism, and demands the respect it deserves from Washington.
