Featuring Ben Domenech, Publisher, The Federalist; John Samples, Vice President and Publisher, Cato Institute; and Emily Ekins, Research Fellow, Cato Institute; moderated by Caleb O. Brown, Director of Multimedia, Cato Institute.

Libertarians and conservatives held high hopes for a return to limited, constitutional government and fiscal responsibility with the arrival of the Tea Party movement in 2008 and 2009. Today, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are making credible runs for the White House. What happened? Was the commitment to Founding Era principles weakly held, after all? Join us on March 10th at 4 p.m. for a discussion about what, exactly, happened to the Tea Party.
