In May, Face the Nation anchor and Slate Political Gabfest host John Dickerson sat down for an interview with Late Show host Stephen Colbert to dissect the 2016 presidential campaign. As a special Political Gabfest extra this week, we’re sharing that interview. Colbert had a lot of questions for Dickerson: Is Hillary Clinton boring? Does the “Never Trump” movement draw inspiration from previous campaigns? Is the press scrutinizing Donald Trump unfairly by not fact checking other candidates with the same rigor? Keep listening to hear them take on these questions and more.
