The Donald Trump phenomenon is happening

You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.

It is official. Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States. The impossible has happened. The impossible can continue happening. We will talk about that.

San Jacinto College Professor of History, Government, and Politics Cody Pogue will be my guest. Cody Pogue does not only talk about politics, he ran against the indomitable Texas Congressman Ted Poe and did respectably well given the headwinds. We will discuss the election and grassroots movements.

I want to give a big thank you to several people who have been very generous to Politics Done Right and KPFT 90.1 FM.

Listeners from Texas and from across the country, corporate media dominates from corporate dollars. Only you can keep truthful independent radio on air. Please consider keeping this show and radio station on air by donating here.
