We talk winners, losers, overrated and under-covered.

Donald Trump (pictured) helps us ask our hosts who were the biggest winners and losers of 2015. Was Trump himself the biggest winner of the year? "People are so sick of the establishment," says Megan McArdle, "that anyone on the outside seems attractive." León Krauze notes that American Nativism has had a great year. "It's been a race for the lowest common denominator." Rich Lowry counts himself as one of the biggest losers, as one of the "pundits who predicted Donald Trumps demise. I have learned my lesson." What stories should have been covered more? And don't miss our predictions for 2016.

Josh Barro (New York Times) moderates from the Center. Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. On the Left is León Krauze (Univision). Megan McArdle (Bloomberg View) is our special guest.
