I really enjoyed my conversation with legendary Republican strategist, Rick Wilson (find him on Twitter, too!). His new book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, is also fantastic. Rick has broken with his party and kept his integrity over the past three years and continues to speak out on behalf of the truth. It has cost him dearly in some ways, but in the end he has been true to himself and his values. He is also extremely witty and funny. Tune in here and learn a few things.
Rick Wilson is a seasoned Republican political strategist and infamous negative ad-maker. His regular column with The Daily Beast is a must-read in the political community.
Published in The Washington Post, Politico, The Hill, The London Spectator, Rolling Stone, The New York Daily News, The Federalist, Independent Journal Review and beyond, he’s also a frequent guest on Real Time with Bill Maher, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, With Friends Like These, and the national networks.
A 30-year veteran of politics, Rick got his start in the 1988 Presidential campaign of George Herbert Walker Bush, and since has produced groundbreaking advertising and provided winning strategic counsel to political candidates, SuperPACS, state parties, the national campaign committees, and corporate, association, and government clients across the nation and around the world.
Rick lives in Tallahassee, Florida with his wife, too many dogs, and a nameless cat. They have two grown children. Rick enjoys hunting, fishing, flying, and overthrowing governments.

Rick is a tad profane to say the least — but what a deadly critic. But not just any critic — he ran the Trump election campaign, then saw the light . He also wrote the devastating book -“Whatever Trump Touches Dies ”. And this year, ‘Running Against The Devil.’
