Doris Kearns Goodwin on BBC News (8 November, 2016)

In case you missed it, Doris Kearns Goodwin joined the BBC News’ Evan Davis to discuss the 2016 race for the U.S. White House. Has she ever seen anything like this? “Not in my lifetime. Certainly the wildness of it, the unpredictability of it, the coarseness of the dialogue, the social media having taken so much impact in this election. The way they talk about each other, the way this system is being portrayed. Not in my lifetime.” Hear Doris’ put this election and “a changing America” into historical perspective. We have had “a very similar set of feelings and anxieties” before.
