Political Conventions Should Be NC-17
It’s the first day of the Republican National Convention, which means that things are already getting pear-shaped. In other words, it’s a fitting follow-up to what the Democrats did (and didn’t) do last week.
On today’s Reason Roundtable podcast, Nick Gillespie, Peter Suderman, Matt Welch, and Katherine Mangu-Ward break down the lowlights and strain for some highlights from last week, while previewing the American carnage and straining for upcoming attractions in this week’s. The gang also talks about Portland protests, New York City backsliding, school reopenings (and lack thereof), and (of course!) superhero movies.
Audio production by Ian Keyser and Regan Taylor.
Music: ‘Come Get With Us’ by TrackTribe.
