Chris Coffey, CEO of Tusk Strategies, joins Bradley to break down a \"brutal\" primary night for establishment Democrats. They dig into why calling the far left anti-semitic keeps backfiring as an electoral strategy, how long Mamdani's vibes-based popularity will survive contact with reality, and where the pattern of electing extreme candidates leads. If voters keep rewarding rhetoric over results, Bradley says bluntly, \"this country's not going to survive.\" This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
