Finale: Love & Polarized Politics

Season 2 Episode 212 | 56m 46s

These days the delicate dance of relationships, romance and love often is dashed on the shoals of America’s bitter partisan divide. As a result, experts say, there is less tolerance for crossing political lines than for interracial and interfaith unions. On this edition, politically and personally impossible couples explore how they’ve found common ground and a happy ending on the home front.
