I project that this next election - the 2016 election - if it is about anything thematically, it is going to be about that sense of rage and displacement among white working-class voters.

I have to say that Donald Trump is on probably about the 13th minute of fame.

Pope Francis also I think was really pivotal in sort of sanctioning and giving that important cosign to the opening of Cuba.

I think on the things - the issues that Pope Francis cares about - not just remaking the Church and in just sort of a more compassionate visage, but really on trying to move real policy.

The Democrats have done so poorly in red states and essentially been evacuated from the red - the entire red part of America particularly off year elections. But I guess they proved that all you need is a completely scandalized Republican opponent.

There is a sort of Neo-Confederate thread that runs through these sort of pro-gun movements and the NRA movement.

I think that no one roiled American politics and sort of scrambled the left/right dynamic more 2015 year than Pope Francis.
