Gary Hart: "All the rules have changed" in politics

The new movie "The Front Runner" focuses on how, in 1987, the presidential campaign of Colorado Senator Gary Hart was upended by a newspaper story raising allegations of an extramarital affair. In a rare television interview, Hart talks with Rita Braver about his eventful career; about "the worst week of his life," now dramatized by Hugh Jackman; and about how the media's examination of the private life of an untraditional politician like himself has changed the way character is measured, leading America to get "the kind of leaders we deserve."
