For a good decade, the question in congressional circles was often can Republicans control the members of their caucus? voice-verified

it. voice-verified

You had hawkish members who were elected during the Iraq War, you had Tea Party Republicans who surged to power in a wave of populist anger. voice-verified

Then you had Trump Republicans with their own completely different sets of motivations. voice-verified

It was no surprise that in really tight votes they had trouble sticking together. voice-verified

Well, now you have a really big, really angry Democratic Party. voice-verified

You got Obama-era Democrats, Democratic socialists. voice-verified

You got moderate Dems who want nothing more than to stick to local politics. voice-verified

Like every election now is a change election. voice-verified

Is that not necessarily always the case for some of these districts? voice-verified

Well, this is the thing, because I often feel like Democratic leadership seems like it's often more worried about those progressive candidates perhaps leaning too far left, right? voice-verified
