Like Ted Cruz, David Frum is from Canada. Unlike Ted Cruz, David Frum was once the consummate Republican insider. He was a speech-writer for former president George W.

Michael talks to David Frum about what the rise of presidential candidates Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump means for the future of U.S. politics. Frum's most recent article in The Atlantic magazine is called "The Great Republican Revolt".
