Tracking the Conservative Movement with Corey Robin

Tracking the Conservative Movement with Corey Robin

MSNBC and NBC News, 'Why is this Happening?' podcast, with Chris Hayes, 5.15.18

Is President Donald Trump a conservative? While other contemporary writers and thinkers may be quick to write the President off as an anomaly to the conservative movement, Corey Robin has another theory.
He argues that if you trace conservatism back through the centuries to understand what the movement is really truly about, then Donald Trump makes perfect sense. Corey Robin, author of The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump, is the guy who can explain why this is happening.
