The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge

Today an encore presentation of an episode that originally aired on April 6th. For years this has been a topic of conversation for political junkies.  It drives some partisans on both sides crazy, but not Good Talk.  Chantal and Bruce are all in for the discussion about whether it's time the two parties made their current arrangement a little more permanent.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
