Examining Transparency and Controversy in Cabinet Nominations

Tara is joined by Pat Dennis, president of the Democratic Super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, to discuss the viability of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees and the media’s role in exposing their inefficiencies to the American public. They shine a light on the dark world of political opposition research, speculate on which of Trump’s controversial picks will make it through confirmation, and debate the effectiveness of mainstream news on the modern voter.
