- The podcast made it seem like Democrats are less open to thinking, but is this perspective valid for both sides? Additionally, your guest should know that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, so she was popular. Would Bernie Sanders have won? In my opinion, your guest seems to be an ashamed Republican who can't support Trump but won't align with the Democrats.
