John Danforth, who represented Missouri in the U.S. Senate from 1976 to 1995, says our current style of politics is "toxic" and "just not the way politics should work."

He joined KCUR's Up To Date to discuss what he believes is flawed about our current political system and to elaborate on why he's backing John Wood.
