The New Politics of Extremism
- to This is a past program
Long time Washington insiders Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann join us to discuss why they believe that Washington is not working for the American people and who is responsible. Ornstein, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, writes a weekly column for Roll Call called Congress Inside Out and is an election eve analyst for CBS News. Congressional scholar Thomas Mann is a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution. Both are authors of the best-seller It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism.
Come early and watch the debate on CNN!
You don’t have to choose! The Presidential Debate will be screened in the Billy Wilder Theater from 6:00-7:30PM, just prior to this program.
