Tim Carney on the GOP, race, and the road ahead for conservatism

Tim Carney joins Luis and Gil to discuss his perspective on the ideological divisions within the GOP, why Republicans have failed to win meaningful percentages of the national Latino vote, how alienation has affected GOP politics, the role of pluralism in American civil society, and why it is important to proactively exclude racists from conservative circles and how young conservatives can do so. After speaking with Tim, Luis and Gil share their thoughts on how to address issues surrounding race within conservatism and speculate about what the Republican party might look like after the election.
