Readers of National Review are well familiar with Bob Ehrlich, who was governor of Maryland in the 2000s. He is one of my favorite politicians — one of my favorite people. His latest book is Turning Point: Picking Up the Pieces After Eight Years of Failed Progressive Policies. And he is my guest on a new Q&A.
What do we talk about? Well, “where we’re at”: after eight years of Obama, and at the beginning of a race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It is not a happy time for Reagan Republicans, as Ehrlich is and as I am. But I always feel buoyed when I talk to him. He has a fighting spirit, a keen mind, and an abiding patriotism.
Again, that podcast is here. And where does Ehrlich stand on the Great Trump Divide? He is supporting him. He thinks his election is important. If there is a Trump administration, it could do worse than to have Bob Ehrlich in it. A lot worse.
