Quote of the Day
“Democrats have declined most sharply in rural America, but it's ‘Regional Metros’ that should concern the party most in 2020. Wasserman said, "For now, Democratic presidential primary candidates are drawing enthusiastic crowds to rallies in places like New York, Seattle, Austin and San Francisco. But to beat Trump, Democrats will need to ask themselves which candidates' proposals will fly in Erie, Saginaw and Green Bay.”
The significant divide in American politics and what Democrats need to do to win in 2020.
