Jimmy Kemp sounds a whole lot like his eloquent father, the late Republican official and idea man Jack Kemp, and this is a very good thing. The U.S. political world needs to start rehearing the Kempian message.

Fortunately, they can watch tonight via Facebook starting at 7:25 p.m. EST as the Jack Kemp Foundation holds its 10th anniversary dinner, where Kempian themes, of course, will get necessary airing. For a fuller, unvarnished dive into those themes, though, I interviewed Kemp. I am convinced the public would respond well to his vision if only political leaders would promulgate them with energy and focus.
