What America’s Founders Learned From Greeks, Romans | Morning Joe | MSNBC
You talk about the Greeks and Romans. How about the influence of the Native Americans in the way we run our government?
Bernie Sanders talks about the group. The people. I hope MSNBC listens.
Trump only needs Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin to win. He does NOT NEED PENNSYLVANIA to win!!! He is now gaining in Arizona and the other two states have massive corruption and fraud which will warrant investigation and ultimately a re-count which will purge the illegal voting!!!!
Americans have spoken, time to kick this big liar clown out of people house. He just turn the beautiful white house into ulgy dark house.
He is fired by people of America and he is a loser now, that is all matter!
That’s ok. We have enough love for God for all people to benefit.
And those wealthy oligarchy are gonna be chipping in their fair share soon.
The latest Trump villain (joining DeJoy, DeVos, Bannon, Manafort, and so many others): General Services Administration Administrator Emily W. Murphy.
I think this short clip finally says out loud how the US has evolved, or maybe devolved is a better term, to something quite different from what your founding fathers expected to create.
As the author said, he thinks the founding fathers would be quite horrified at the current state of the United States; see 4:59 onwards the author talks about campaign finance and how the SC has been shaped by Conservative forces.
Short but an interesting conversation. I doubt many Americans would understand that the US of today is nothing how your founding fathers dreamed it would be.
Thank you so much MSNBC
Professor Allan Lichtman has been predicting every presidential election since 1984, and he always right, INCREDIBLE,,,,,Hallelujah
Congratulations to the women of our country on the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote!
This book sounds very good.
He’s right: oligarchy. I was not a fan of Senator Sanders’ (disapproval of his voting record), but in his comment regarding this, he was correct!
We BADLY need publicly funded elections! We are asked on our tax returns to donate a $1 toward election funding. Martin O’Malley used the fund, as did President Obama in his 2nd run.
I would certainly be willing to donate a bit more if it could ensure better candidates able to run.
Calvinists??? They were Freemasons. Except for Maryland, us Catholics’ bastion.
Wow! A real, interesting, deeply political discussion!! Thank you
Imperial Rome and Greece was about subjection to the state. If a Greek mother bared son’s she was eligible for a state funeral , no sons no state funeral. Akin to Socialism than a Democratic Republic …

47yrs dwelling in the swamp and Joe Biden still doesn’t know it’s the electrol College that announces president elect. Not msnbc. He thinks he’s the president. Maybe AL Gore who thought he was president for a month can explain it.
Authors make the guest
He said the word “Oligarchy”. It will be a while (if ever) before he shows up on MSNBC again.
Schadenfreude is not a noble sentiment. But I am drunk on it right now.
Election ”contributions” are just BRIBES paid in advance.. nice system we got here,encourages corruption.
Thanks black people ,from a white dud
Joe Biden’s first order will be to disinfect the WH with people in hazmat suits and clean the stains of ketchup and fries from all the furniture.
THE LORD WHO HEALS ! YAHWEH ROPHE! Means Hebrew word. ROPHE ; HEAL, “CURE” RESTORE OR MAKE WHOLE! “THE LORD GOD WHO HEALS.”
