About this, john and alisyn, what we forget here is that cities are where a lot of progress is made in the country. thats where the innovation is. thats where you have people, mayors, well connected with their communities, and take on the cities in general where so many people of color live. it just compiles not just the racism but misunderstanding of whats going on in this country. the hope of a lot of people is in our city. >> but the base of trumps voters is not. polarizing twr rural and urba...

Ive traveled around the country over the last um can of years, alisyn, ive seen so many people, ordinary people, doing extraordinary things. we have an election coming up, not just for president but at the state and local level. i think the activism that has been jet fueled by make of this nasty rhetoric is going to result in more people participating in our democracy. >> i do want to just read president obamas tweet because you mentioned it. after your op-ed, he wrote, ive always been proud of ...
