Our on-going conversation on the US election continues, as we are once again joined by Western University’s Associate Professor of Political Science, Salim Mansur. As regular listeners know, he has accurately been calling the shots on the direction of events since the Trump card was first dealt to the Republican Party.

With Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee, our conversation shifts to an examination of the real choice now faced by American voters. In comparing Trump’s leadership qualities with those of Clinton’s, how will Americans vote, and why? That’s the question we entertain in our discussion that looks at both political camps and their chosen leaders.

Salim’s observations and conclusions certainly are not those shared by the establishment media and most political observers, possibly accounting for their constant surprise at the turn of events.

In comparing Trump’s ‘non-political’ record with that of Clinton’s very political record, Salim exposes the ugly nature of ‘Identity Politics’ that has been made the theme of the election.

Tune in for all that, and more – after all, even when ‘the lesser of two evils’ appears to be the only option, it’s always Just Right to be informed.
