Behind Enemy Lines - Deconstructing Hillary




Behind Enemy Lines Radio show

Summary: This week, Behind Enemy Lines takes an in-depth look at now-declared Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with AEI Senior Fellow / Forbes Columnist Karlyn Bowman. Karlyn Bowman compiles and analyzes American public opinion using available polling data on a variety of subjects, including the economy, taxes, the state of workers in America, environment and global warming, attitudes about homosexuality and gay marriage, NAFTA and free trade, the war in Iraq, and women’s attitudes. In addition, Ms. Bowman has studied and spoken about the evolution of American politics because of key demographic and geographic changes. She has often lectured on the role of think tanks in the United States and writes a weekly column for Forbes.com. Recently, Bowman released a public opinion study examining Clinton's favorability rating over time to try to understand changes in popularity over time, as well as overall trends and themes. Russell and I are looking forward to combing through decades of Clinton peaks and valleys to see if there is some kernel of knowledge that may be used in 2016 to gain an advantage over a candidate that seems to always ride a wave of partisan popularity. Then, Russ and Gene give their take on the announcement of Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential campaign - and a controversial take on the SC Police shooting from Russ that is sure to get you thinking!
