It's easy to see how this year's polarized political climate has split conservatives, but how has it affected conservative talk radio? Those that listen can tell you: The once unified voices of these daytime talkers are beginning to show signs of a deep divide.
But is conservative talk radio really going through an identity crisis? Some say the ideological differences now on display have always existed, and that it took a figure like Trump to reveal them. Others argue we really are seeing a fracturing of the republican party as never before. This hour we take an inside look at the personalities, politics and process behind conservative talk radio.
