On this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with his thoughts about the impending end to the government
shutdown. David argues that the fight within the Democratic Party
about ending the shutdown isn’t about the shutdown itself; rather,
it’s about the future face of the party. David argues that now is a
good moment to make a deal and that the Democrats have accomplished
all they could hope to from the shutdown. He also cautions that
allowing the left wing of the Democrats’ base to use any potential
deal as a means to push the party down a more confrontational, more
radical path must be avoided. Then David is joined by The Bulwark’s
Sarah Longwell. David and Sarah discuss the exit polls from this
year’s elections and the current state of play within the American
electorate. Sarah discusses how the increasing gender gap in voting
patterns reflects a broader polarization between higher- and
lower-information voters. Sarah also discusses how Donald Trump has
upended everything we thought we knew about voting patterns and the
uneasy position Republicans find themselves in once he’s off the
ballot. Finally, David closes with a talk about “The Emergency,” a
new novel by The Atlantic’s George Packer. Get more from your
