Matt Bennett on the Campbell Conversations

Matt Bennett

This week on the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher has a wide-ranging political discussion with Matt Bennett, a vice president of a centrist Washington think tank.  Bennett argues that the Democratic Party is in the worst shape it’s been in, in over 80 years, despite holding the White House for two terms and enjoying what appears to be a growing demographic advantage among the population.  They also discuss the current presidential field and Hillary Clinton’s potential to be a genuine agent for change in Washington.

Grant Reeher is Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
