In today’s episode, I talk with Bruce Carlson, the host of the very popular podcast “My History Can Beat Up Your Politics.” Bruce takes the politics of today and puts it into larger historical context for listeners. He says knowledge of the political history of America is key to putting political devleopments into perspective, controlling heated partisanship, and creating better and more informed voters. He’ll share historical precedents for the 2016 election, give us a crash course in the “Lyndon Johnson treatment,” discuss his favorite “what ifs” in American history, and give his two cents on the decision to knock Alexander Hamilton off the $10 bill.
