Watch progressive historian and author Rick Perlstein take on Pat Buchanan on MSNBC in a segment about Nixon's legacy of political polarization.

Buchanan asks, sarcastically, how Richard Nixon cheated during the 1972 election. Perlstein, author of the new book Nixonland, gives Buchanan a history lesson he won't soon forget.
