All Politics Is Local, With a Twist

Late last week, I joined my colleague David Wasserman for interviews with about half-a dozen Democrats running in competitive swing districts currently held by Republicans. It was a good reminder of just how disconnected DC and the cable networks are from what Democratic candidates and campaigns are talking about back home.

Inside the beltway and TV/Twitter bubble the most trafficked-in topics include: Donald Trump, impeachment, Russia, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. The number of times any of these topics were mentioned in our interviews with House Democratic candidates: zero. CONT.
