Introduction

Rui Tashira is an American political scientist and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Chris Amiga: I've been chasing you for a while, sent a few emails through your website; it's always a bit of a crap shoot. He says he came from a pretty solidly radical left background but has evolved over time to have much more pragmatic politics. And we'll talk about maybe what that is because so much has changed from sort of the old left to the new left.
