Bonus Episode 3: Retribution (2024)

Nikki Haley finally got her wish: a one-on-one match-up with Donald Trump. And she was crushed so overwhelmingly that it makes a lot more sense why so many prominent Republicans stayed out of the race. We then examine Trump's 2024 campaign, focusing in particular on his emphasis on political retribution, a tendency which could be seen throughout the conservative movement. Finally, we turn to the general election, and show how Trump's deeply divisive message only succeeded because of astonishing political malpractice by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
