Brothers John and Brian Kabateck choose their sides as they explore the shifting dynamics of the Republican and Democrat Parties with esteemed guest, Dan Schnur, a respected professor and veteran political strategist. From the astonishing influence Donald Trump continues to wield within the GOP, even in the face of a criminal indictment, to the concerns around Joe Biden's age and mental capacity, the conversation twists and turns like a road on the side of a mountain. 
 Probing into how progressive voters from the 2020 election might behave in the next election cycle, and the potential impact of immigration, homelessness, and natural disasters on voting decisions are topics with polarizing characteristics that are part of the conversation. And of course, what's the story - and prospects - of a "President Gavin Newsom"?

I'll bet you're thinking the fireworks are going to fly between your hosts, Brian and John in this episode.  But the opposite is true.  Brian gives some very thoughtful insight into why he believes the Republican Party has challenges in the state and even the country.  John, of course disagrees and Chairwoman Patterson does a wonderful job of positioning the party for growth in the state.  When it comes to strategies, once again, Brian offers some insight as to how the Republican Party has opportunities and has also missed opportunities where the Democrats have failed the people and again, Chairwoman Patterson both agrees and shares the progress and direction the party is attempting to take.  If only our elected officials could show as much respect when opinions differ as this discussion does, the polarization of politics and position would be much different.
