St. Paul, Minn. — Republican presidential candidates are spending time trying to reassure Christian conservatives that they will remember them after the election. Christian conservatives increasingly reply, we've heard it all before.

Meanwhile, studies suggest business leaders are questioning whether the party has fundamentally changed.

Guests

  • Jackie Calmes: Chief political reporter for the Wall Street Journal. Her article on the Republican Party shifting its "brand" from the party of business appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
  • James Guth: Professor of political science at Furman University.
