USSC Live

Donald Trump was not the first presidential candidate to want to ''Make America Great Again". Ronald Reagan's successful 1980 campaign led with the same pledge before the former Hollywood actor, union leader and California governor won office and undoubtedly changed the country and its politics throughout his eight years in the White House.

USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow and former US congressional advisor Bruce Wolpe moderated the discussion.
