Dr. John V. Kane &amp; Dr. Julie Wronski - Partisans in American politics are increasingly biased against their political opponents on a personal level. This partisan rancor has been found to rival even racial prejudice in its intensity, and has only increased in the era of the Trump candidacy and presidency. But to what extent do extra-partisan social attitudes shape these political animosities? Who were Trump supporters before Trump came along? Can we form a picture of the Trump voter based on social attributes and attitudes alone? Join Tavis for a conversation with two authorities on the subject (Hour 3)
