Politics
Political commentary from Dr. Bart Rossi, PhD, a licensed psychologist and political commentator who has analyzed American politics on MSNBC, CBS, FOX 5, PIX11, News 12 New Jersey and WINK-TV. Every piece reads the news through a psychological lens: why leaders and candidates do what they do, how voters react, and what it means for the country, with the benefits and drawbacks laid out plainly.
Coverage includes elections and campaigns, presidential power and the voters who follow it, war and foreign crises, Congress and the Supreme Court, immigration enforcement, scandals and the psychology of political movements. The archive goes back to 2008, from Gov. Chris Christie and the Obama years to every presidential race since.
