I was disappointed that you spent so little time talking about the book, and at the end I was surprised at how you answered the question about why intelligent Republicans don’t like Trump. Was

this thinking lazy or naive? I do know there was nothing lazy about The Case Against Education—it was thoroughly researched and meticulously argued. So maybe your answer is just politically naive because of your relationship with the media and your recommendation: “Read no newspapers. Watch no television news. In plenty of cases, this would lead people to be entirely unaware of a problem . . . The rest of the time, news-free people would just base their views on first-hand experience.”
