Show 2020-34 Segment 4 What Will Conservatism In America Be In The Future?

Episode Summary

Dr. Marcus Witcher from Huntingdon College, author of Getting Right With Reagan, discusses the ideological crossroads America’s Right is at in 2020. Comparing the historical approaches to culture and politics of conservatives over the years, Witcher believes today’s conservatives (and “small L” libertarians) have to decide what being “conservative” now means in the United States.
