Caucusing And The Elusive Nature Of 'Electability'
Democrats are concerned with one thing and one thing only: Beating President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
But a lot of people consider the Iowa caucuses to be a total disaster.
Democratic candidates landed in New Hampshire for their next round before they even knew who the winner was of the Iowa caucuses.
The next stop is Nevada's first-in-the-West caucus.
We want to talk about what happens in the quest for the Democratic nomination. In voters' minds, how do they wrestle with the concept of a candidate’s electability? What makes a candidate electable?
Guests:
Yvette Williams, chair, Clark County Black Caucus; Laura Martin, executive director, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada; Dan Lee, political science professor, UNLV; Jose Melendrez, community health department, UNLV
