These are the kind of interviews that Rand excels at - the more casual discussions. I think he may do better to make more mention of the failed Clinton policies and how he is the only one that is different, but that was a good job. The interviewer was also very fair and respectful, playing a reasonable devil's advocate which led Rand into answering for the concerns that primary voters may have.
