Sullivan vs. Schiller: A matchup for the ages

Wendy Schiller, associate professor of political science and “president” of POLS 1130: “The American Presidency,” was one of Bill Maher’s guests on Real Time this past Friday night. She absolutely killed it while discussing Trayvon Martin, Anwar Al-Awlaki, and the role of women in politics.  Recently, Professor Schiller has appeared on Bloomberg, as well as MSNBC, discussing political topics ranging from congressional deadlock over budget negotiations to historical trends in presidential election cycles. You can watch the “Overtime” section of this week’s Real Time here, or stream the full episode here.
