On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, what else? We dissect last night’s GOP debate on CNN at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA.<\/p>\n

My guests are fantastic! Our old friend, Heather Digby Parton<\/b> — Salon contributor<\/a>, Hillman Foundation opinion journalism award winner, and proprietor of Digby’s Hullabaloo<\/a> blog — joins us for the hour!<\/p>\n

And I’m delighted to welcome back to The BradCast<\/i>, Fred Karger<\/b><\/a>, the former longtime Republican political consultant, 2012 GOP Presidential candidate<\/a>, the first openly gay Presidential candidate from either major party and now “indefatigable”<\/a> activist for equal rights.<\/p>\n

No need to tease too much more, frankly. Find out what “Digby” and Karger, who is still (incredibly enough) a Republican — though “hanging on by his fingernails” — thought about last night’s circus and if any of it will finally shake the party loose from its Trump fever dreams.<\/p>\n

Debate analysis and insight that you won’t hear anywhere else — on what actually matters and what actually doesn’t. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
