Today's Poll Question: When a Party Can’t Win, Should It Get Out of the Way For A Strong Independent Candidate?

Today's Poll Question: When a Party Can’t Win, Should It Get Out of the Way For A Strong Independent Candidate?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: In a state where one party can't win a Senate seat, should that party step aside for a strong independent? Michael examines a provocative Senate strategy taking shape in deep-red states: Democrats clearing the field for independent candidates who may have a better chance of defeating Republicans. From Seth Bodnar’s campaign in Montana to independent bids in Idaho, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Alaska, Michael asks whether breaking the two-party monopoly could create a new center of power in Washington—or whether partisan voters will ultimately come home. Could just a few truly independent senators change how Congress works? Listen here, then vote - and be sure to rate, review and share this podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
