Pundits Opine on 'Crazy' Election Year
Pundits Mike Murphy of NBC News Los Angeles, center, and Paul Begala of CNN, right, joined Patrick Scully, APTA Business Member Board of Governors, at the “2016 Political Overview” General Session sponsored by the APTA Business Member Activity Fund. Both speakers referenced this year’s widespread voter anger and the underlying sense among much of the U.S. population that the nation’s politics are going in the wrong direction. Murphy, who has worked with numerous Republican candidates, said Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are both “pre-aware titles” like summer blockbuster movies: For Clinton, “like her or don’t, she is known” for her career in the U.S. Senate and as secretary of state and Trump for his 10 years on prime time television. Begala, who worked for President Bill Clinton, said of the candidates, “They both face challenges. The deck is stacked against [Hillary Clinton] by history and against Trump by demographics.”
