Why Politicians Attack Instead of Govern: Money, Gerrymandering & Career Politicians
With the 2026 midterms weeks away, the flood of attack ads has already begun. In this episode of Profit, Power, and Policy, Bill Keep and Nancy Lasher help you separate rhetoric from reality. We look at how Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump built reputations that outran the facts, fact-check misleading ads in Senate races from Texas to Maine, and explain why so many campaigns now run against an invented version of their opponent instead of on their own record.
