Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein

Come and listen to two of America’s top political scholars candidly discuss the state of affairs in American government. Ornstein and Mann will talk about their provocative book It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism, which identifies the two extreme problems that have paralyzed our government. The first being our adversarial political parties, and the second, an “asymmetric polarization” which the Republicans have created by refusing to compromise, whatever the cost to our nation.
