Media always finds repug voters to chat with even in deep blue cities

On MSNBC's Steph Ruhl a couple of minutes ago...reporter at a coffee shop, in the heart of deep blue Des Moines, managed to interview two voters - an independent who likes Schultz and a anti-choice Republican who likes Trump. Reporters are rarely interested in talking with Dems but they sure can find non-Dems in every coffee shop and small town diner.

Of course, they never talk to Dems in red areas.

Good thing the Dems are organizing and not sitting around coffee shops.

MSNBC and CNN . Ari's shows have been terrible lately and Chris Cuomo is unwatchable. Even my favorite Bill Maher is getting less of my viewing time.

It's a great way to make sure that only certain voices are heard, whether or not that's their intention.
