"Part 2 of my conversation with Washington-based political strategist Marc A. Ross.
"For those of you who tuned in to Part 1, you'll remember Marc's exuberant, ebullient, and entertaining style; his infectious enthusiasm for his subject. And you'll also remember that we covered a lot of ground. Marc shared his great anecdote about Clinton's candy shop in regard to exerting power and influence, we discussed the delusions required to make it as a politician and we talked a lot about the reality of the Hill (and indeed political affairs in general) beyond the media hysteria."
Marc dropped so much BS; Daniel broke their discussion into two parts.
In this second part, they discuss:
+ Sanders, Corbyn and political self-sabotage
+ The illusion of similarity
+ Floundering Kamala Harris
+ Rory Sutherland's 'make it pink' boardroom strategy
+ Problems with the polling industry
+ Campaign school: The mathematics behind the US election
+ Diversity in politics
+ Trump's pirate ship of rejects
+ Will Trump run again?
