DONNA BRAZILE. Veteran Democratic Political Strategist and New York Times Bestselling Author., and KARL ROVE. Foremost Conservative Commentator and Strategist. Political powerhouses Donna Brazile and Karl Rove square off in a candid, informative, and at times hilarious debate to decode the uncertainty and partisanship of Washington today, and provide prescient insight and actionable takeaways on the future political landscape. Renowned political strategists from opposite ends of the aisle, Brazile and Rove delve into the dynamics of their respective parties, and dive into everything from health care to taxes and the evolving American electorate. True Washington insiders combined with decades of experience, they take audiences from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill, to the White House. Jon Evans, WECT anchor and assistant news director, will serve as moderator.
