Re: Recount Opinions
I want to take a minute here to recommend a CNN show that I thought was very well hosted by Van Jones.
It was an attempt to pierce through the bubbles that we all live in. In it he had a segment with an Ohio family that 2 times voted for Pres Obama (they were white) and this time the husband and sons voted for Trump, while the wife voted straight democrat except no vote for president; a town hall style question answer session with Rick Santorum that attempted to address concerns about what Trump/Republicans may do about various issues; and finished with a similar though shorter segment with Michael Moore. I give Van Jones (the man who initially called the results a "whitelash") a LOT of credit as he truly tried to moderate an opening dialog that I think this country sorely needs. I give less credit to Santorum and Moore, who like the political beings they are really couldn't step outside of their bubbles more than just a few words and really hear what was being said. Anyways I imagine CNN will have rebroadcasts, and I highly recommend it. |
