Ep. 1: Has Trump’s Luck Run Out?

By Roll Call Staff and CQ Staff

Posted June 21, 2016 at 11:34am

Our new podcast focuses on Donald Trump — whether the firing of his campaign manager will help turn around his poll ratings and how a poor ground game will hurt Republican candidates in the battleground state of Nevada. Political experts Nathan Gonzales, Alex Roarty and Simone Pathe join CQRC Chief Content Officer David Ellis in this debut episode. Ellis is later joined by veteran political columnist Walter Shapiro, who reveals why Hillary Clinton’s best bet for a running mate is another woman. @realDonaldTrump, @HillaryClinton @rollcall, @cqnow.
