Evolving Political Dynamics: The End of Identity Politics

Tara starts things off with some reporting on the growing number of appointments in Donald Trump’s increasingly controversial Cabinet. She's then joined by Republican Party pollster and strategist Patrick Ruffini to talk about how Trump won both the electoral and popular vote in spectacular fashion. They shine a light on the GOP’s ongoing efforts to court minority voters, discuss the Democrats' failed attempts at campaigning on identity politics, and speculate on how each political party will move forward from here.
