A Democrat, a Republican and a Road Trip - Lessons in Bipartisanship
Offered By: The Aspen Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Join two Texas congressmen from opposing parties as they recount their impromptu 1,600-mile road trip from Texas to Washington D.C. in a rented Chevy Impala. Discover how this unexpected journey, born out of necessity due to flight cancellations, turned into a live-streamed political town hall on wheels. Learn about the insights they gained into Americans' concerns, each other's core values, and the importance of listening and finding common ground across party lines. Explore topics such as healthcare reform, the Affordable Care Act, Senate bills, draining the swamp, generational change, redistricting, and the impact of physical communication in the digital age. Gain valuable perspectives on bipartisanship, leadership, and the potential for positive change in American politics through this unique cross-country adventure.
