He's required reading for the progressive crowd and maybe KC's favorite political author. His writing offers brilliant theories on the motivations of Republican voters and even a few pretty decent critiques of the Hillary Clinton campaign . . . Which is pretty much why he can only get a steady job writing in the UK.
Check tonight's KCMO appearance or risk having your least favorite Bernie bro drone on and on about what he said for the rest of the Summer.

Tuesday at the Plaza Library: Thomas Frank
The Baffler founder, What's the Matter with Kansas? author, and native Kansas Citian Thomas Frank has been ahead of the curve on nearly every socio-political-economic topic on which he's weighed in over the last 30 years. He was especially correct in 2016, when he published Listen Liberal, which critiqued the Democratic Party's abandonment of the working class.
Nothing better than a Mission Hills raised country club kid who transplanted to the east coast and now overseas to tell us about the inner thoughts of middle class suburban, working class, and rural voters of Kansas (the 99.9% of us outside of Mission Hills). He's telling coastal liberals what they want to hear (these people are not rational) and ignoring the reality (his audience of over-educated baristas and organic urban farmers lack the common sense necessary to effectively govern). Keep up the good work...
