Populism, Power, and the Erosion of Principles

This week on The Enemies List, Rick is joined by television host and political commentator S.E. Cupp. Together, they discuss the profound transformation within the Republican Party as it shifts from traditional conservatism to a populist, personality-centric movement, heavily influenced by Donald Trump. They explore the role of media and celebrities in political discourse, the rise of conspiracy theories among the party base, and the departure from intellectual conservatism. The conversation critiques the current state of Republican leadership and strategy, lamenting the loss of principled conservatism and the challenges this poses for the party's future.
