There are folks out there who are refuting aspects of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's reporting, like Rufus Gifford, who is a longtime fundraiser for the Democrats who was on with Mark Halperin.

A sad thing, I guess, about American politics, that the way our system works is we're just in a binary choice and it's Democrats versus Republicans.
