Wisconsin has become the epicenter of presidential politics with the state’s primary just days and races in both parties remaining close contests. So for this episode, I sat down to talk with Julia Azari, who is an associate professor of political science at Marquette University, the author of the book Delivering the People’s Message: The Changing Politics of the Presidential Mandate, a regular contributor at the Vox.com blog Mischiefs of Faction, and a contributor to FiveThirtyEight.com.
Julia and I discussed the significance of the Wisconsin primary, divisions and fault lines within the political parties, what history can teach us about this year’s wild election cycle, Clinton vs. Sanders, Cruz vs. Trump, the possibility of a contested convention, and much more.
