No way, says legal expert Barb McQuade.

McQuade, author of The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government, argues that Donald Trump would not have ascended from con-man to president without a tool that allowed him to play into the prejudices, fears, and insecurities of hundreds of millions of people like no political figure before him ever had.

At a time when social media was meant to bring people together, what does it say that Americans, given this new technology, elected Trump twice?

Learn McQuade's take on this episode of Six Questions with Steven Beschloss, produced by America, America and Lincoln Square Media.
