Common Ground with Jane Whitney
Finale: Love & Polarized Politics
Season 2
Episode 212
These days the delicate dance of relationships, romance and love often is dashed on the shoals of America’s bitter partisan divide. As a result, experts say, there is less tolerance for crossing political lines than for interracial and interfaith unions. On this edition, politically and personally impossible couples explore how they’ve found common ground and a happy ending on the home front.
