PANEL DISCUSSION: EXAMINING DONALD TRUMP'S LEGACY & its effect on future presidential campaigns

Instead of the more typical discussion of  "who’s likely to win and why” that we're likely to present at this point in a normal presidential election cycle, this lecture event will feature a panel discussion addressing a far more intriguing question, namely: Win or lose, what will Donald Trump’s legacy be, and will America’s presidential campaign process ever be the same again?  

Our Panelists Include:

Tom Goldstein

Tom Goldstein, is a professor of Journalism and director of the Media Studies Program at Berkeley.  He has taught journalism at the University of Florida and Columbia, where he also served as Dean, and was a reporter at AP, Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.  He is the author of several books that seem tailored to the times. If  “The News at Any Cost” had been titled “Dominating the news at any cost” it would be a perfect description of Donald trump’s campaign strategy.  Tom edited “Killing the Messenger: 100 years of Press Criticism.”  I’m reasonably confident that a close examination would show that Trump did as much damage in 100 days.

Tom Mann
Tom Mann, is a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and currently a Resident Scholar at Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Council of Foreign Relations.  While teaching at Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and the University of Virginia he found time to write more than a dozen books including, most recently a best seller co-authored with Norm Ornstein entitled “It’s Even Worse Than it Looks”, that is sure to shatter the slim hopes you may clung to in these troubled times. 

Martin Nolan
Martin Nolan was a White House Correspondent, Washington Bureau Chief, and Editorial Page Editor for the Boston Globe. A consummate pro, he has covered every presidential election since 1968, and has interviewed 12 Presidents from Harry Truman to Barrack Obama. NBC’s John Chancellor called Marty, “One of the very best political reporters in Washington."  And anyone who’s worked with him would agree.
