MSNBC's Chris Hayes on what he would do if a Trump-like celebrity ever ran for president as a Democrat.
During the rise of Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes found himself wondering what would happen if a reality TV star entered a Democratic primary race and started to rise in the polls.
At a time when “I think people thought of his politics as, like, roughly liberal,” Hayes wondered what the Democratic Party would be able to do to stop a figure like West, a rap artist, from gaining traction in a party primary. West, who has no experience in elected office, has talked publicly about running for president since 2015, when he first said he planned to do so in 2020. In response, the New Yorker magazine published a cartoon on its cover mocking both West and Trump that showed West holding up a newspaper with the headline “Trump Defeats Kanye,” in a nod to the iconic 1948 photo of President Harry Truman holding up a “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline.
Story continuesHayes wrote about the loss of trust in mediating institutions, such as political parties, in his 2011 book, “Twilight of the Elites.” “The most important social project we must undertake in the wake of the fail decade is reconstructing our institutions so that we once again feel comfortable trusting them,” he wrote.
