Steve Hilton, Former Senior Adviser & Director of Strategy to British Prime Minister David Cameron/MORE HUMAN: Designing A World Where People Come First, joins Thom. The Republican party might be having an existential crisis between the establishment and Donald Trump’s supporters. But would a European conservative consider either group “conservative”?
