278: Fascism & The Fight For NC with Dr. Michael Bitzer & Max Boot

Politics War Room ON TOUR - live show in Boston on 11/2 at politicon.com/tour Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial James and Al raise hell over the danger of fascism if Trump is elected and ask the leaders of our military to call out his rejection of democracy before welcoming Dr. Michael Bitzer to discuss the Democrats' prospects in North Carolina. They discuss the effect of the hurricane on the vote, the counties and cities with the most predictive value for the results, and what to expect in the state’s down-ballot races. Then, Al and James welcome historian Max Boot to explain how the Republicans have abandoned Reaganism in favor of Trump and extremism, the threat Trump poses to the Constitution, and why he left the party behind.
