Wish I could believe Chuck Todd was this calculating; think he's just another example of a lucky white guy who failed upwards. No discernment whatsoever.
Spot on as always, John. And the solution, as always, is to talk past the press--over their heads if you will or barrel right into them. Talking over their heads means resetting terms of debate on a regular basis: unity is not necessarily bipartisanship; leadership is not necessarily compromise; negotiation is not necessarily division. Barreling into them--which the Biden team, DSCC and DCCC need to do far more of--means flooding their bookers. Joe Manchin did a Sunday show rounds recently. Democratic reps should be doing that stuff on a much more regular basis. Media appearances--PR, if you will--IS a part of one's governance duties.
Excellent piece. Thanks. By the way, what is meant by "Cancel Culture" and what is wrong with people who are "too far to the left"? Thanks
