    We examine two definitive stories in the Atlantic magazine about what happened this year in politics -- Peter Beinart claims America is moving politically to the left and David Frum examines where Donald Trump came from and what happened to the Republican Party this year. Megan McArdle says the candidate who is willing to just lie is going to be much more effective, but "non-Trump candidates are at least paying homage to reality." León Krauze says that Hillary Clinton should not be comparing herself the image of the beloved iconic abuelita.

    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.
