Here`s what got me thinking about this today this morning. And I think it`s part of something that`s broader and more broken with the way that our political coalitions are functioning. There`s something happening right now, in this moment, particularly in the political right, that is incentivizing, cultivating nastiness as a political virtue. I mean, there have been all sorts of awful scoundrels throughout history who have thrived in public life.
You know, in general, politicians try to be likable and try to appeal to people, being an obnoxious jerk, generally not the best bet in public office or public or public life.
HAYES (on camera): Good evening from New York, I`m Chris Hayes.
