This Isn’t Normal: The Case Against Accepting Trump

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 2, 2016

Donald Trump's success has made this election cycle interesting, to say the least.

Jonathan Chait, New York Magazine columnist, and Jamelle Bouie, senior political correspondent for Slate, talk about why they call it "unprecedented."

Bouie thinks it's important for people not to regard Trump as just another presidential nominee. Even Ted Cruz, despite being very far on the political right, is "essentially within the broad American mainstream" compared to Trump. Bouie said: Trump is every worst quality of many of our worst presidents, or the worst people who've run for president, combined into a single person.
