good evening, thank you for joining us commit is trey gowdyi and it is sunday night in america. every four years they tell us this is the most important election of our lifetime. usually it is hyperbole but sometimes it is simply logical in the sense it is the next election and therefore, the most important. but i will concede. this election cycle does feelspo disproportionatelyl. consequential. at a realossr crossroads. more people arre pe questioning democracy as a system of government. americans seem less interested in working things out and more interested in duking things out. so maybe 202t.4 is the most important election of our lifetime.efin regardless, it is definitely the next one. it is ten months away. joining us now are two old friends of the show, opinionm an washington times opinion editor and democratic strategists kevin wallin. charlie, you have tollu helvepe with this month. there are prominent republicans and conservatives who claim they will not suppor
