Is Trump the new FDR? Rich Lowry, in his recent article for the National Review, certainly thinks so. In this episode, we discuss whether Lowry’s arguments hold any water (spoiler alert: they don’t) and consider whether the Democrats need to embrace the legacy of FDR more strongly (spoiler alert: they do).
Show Notes
Nathan Robinson’s article about FDR is titled “Do We Need a Second New Deal?” in the online edition; the print edition title is “Do We Need a New FDR?” as referenced in the show.
