Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wolves of K Street Episode #9: Is the GOP Becoming Friendly to Unions?
Q: Do you think that Republicans are using labor unions to get to that Trump blue collar base to support them?
Republicans are definitely doing things that favor the unions from a policy perspective, but politically, it's a fight over independents and breaking off enough from the Democrat base.
Wolves of K Street Episode #7 -- Unintended Impact of Reforms
Q: What do you think about the potential lifting of restrictions on coordinated spending from parties to federal candidates?
Many voters might not realize the need for stronger political parties, but Doug highlights that strong parties can provide better candidates and a healthier political environment.
Wolves of K Street Episode #7 -- Unintended Impact of Reforms
Q: Doug, what have you seen in terms of the weakening of the party system relative to super PACs over the past 15 years?
There has been an absolute weakening of the parties, influenced by campaign finance reforms like McCain-Feingold and the Citizens United decision, which allowed super PACs to rise.
