Episode 24: Benjamin Franklin’s Audacious Golf Cart Adventure

Episode Summary

In episode 24, Charles starts with a Q&A, answering questions about Benjamin Franklin and what would happen if Originalism were to prevail across the board. After that, he talks to Giancarlo Sopo about whether the GOP is in trouble in 2024, and how issues such as abortion, gun-control and Trump are playing with the electorate.

Episode Notes

On episode 24, Charles starts off by answering two questions. (1) "Were he alive today, would Ben Franklin be repairing old cars or modifying golf carts?" (2) "What do you think the practical end goal of judicial Originalism is supposed to be?"

Then it's time for a conversation with pollster and strategist, Giancarlo Sopo, who answers questions about the GOP's challenges going into 2024. Is abortion going to drag Republicans down in swing states? How much will January 6 continue to matter? Does DeSantis have a better chance than Trump? And what are the Democrats' liabilities?
