He won by a large margin. It is hard to see exactly where impeachment is, especially when you have so many issues going on. I think a lot of people that live in the heartland, live in all the states, kind of see that as a washington thing. There is a lot of disconnect between d. C. And the people who live here. There is the appearance of that at the least. It is hard to determine that now. A special phone line this wening 202 7488003 will be happy to talk a guy state politics with you. Phone lines as usual for the rest of the country. Republicans 202 7488001. Democrats 202 7488000 independents 202 7488002. Seth richardson, the we the website is cleveland. Com. What else are you focusing on in the flyover today . Guest we are focused on the issues in the heartland. We want to see we know the states are important. You look at wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, iowa. The states are important as well as indiana and illinois. Illinois being very democrats, indiana be very republican. You have a good crosssection of midwest. Of the log of these issues a them are the same as the national issues. One of the biggest is the General Motors strike, affecting several states. You have workers striking. Chicago futures could go on strike soon. One of the bigger issues facing the president is farmers being upset. You look at the renewable fuel standards in iowa. Someone in wisconsin said small Dairy Farmers would have to consolidate or get bigger, which is kind of throwing in the towel. They are saying there is not a way to survive if youre small. You have farmers who are upset. We dove issues that maybe not see nationally Water Quality being a big one. And algae blooms. You have the largest freshwater source in america and it is not something necessarily talked eu of the green new deal. Jobs in the economy are probably number one. Then of course health care. Everybody is talking but health care. Host there are three issues you bring up gm strikes, Water Quality. How much attention do you think they will get in the debate . Guest i went to the debates in detroit. Part of the reason the democrats said they wanted to go to all these places and have these debates they sold it as we are going back to the voters and we had this disconnect in 2016. In detroit, it seems like they missed an opportunity to talk about some of those issues that are not necessarily hyper local issues. They might seem that way, but you talk about great lakes Water Quality. In detroit, they did not mention the great lakes once, neither moderators or candidates. You have these voters who live along greatly great lakes states. It is a large margin. I do not know if impeachment is going to take center stage because it is the national conversation. I would not expect a whole lot of discussion about it. It could get some play, but very minimal play. Detroit is noe in talk about Water Quality. You had the flint water crisis a short ways away. There talk about manufacturing there was a little bit of it, but less from where the debate is being held. I do not know if they are going to shift their focus to some of that have thesues national bend to them. It surprises me they are not doing that. Host why westerville, ohio as opposed to columbus or cleveland or dayton . Guest i thought it was a curious choice. They say they want to go to the suburbs, or democrats have seen big gains. That is true for places like westerville. I found it interesting that they decided to go to westerville itself instead of going to columbus, cleveland, dayton, cincinnati. That is where your Democratic Base is. This is a democratic debate. It might make more sense to have a general Election Debate in a place like that, although the infrastructure is questionable one road in, one road out. You have all these democratic voters in northeast ohio and columbus, even in cincinnati, a place that has been traditionally red as far as big cities go. Interesting. T i think they want to show they are going to the suburbs, that they are not taking the suburban voters who came to them in 2018 for granted. Is a typical suburban place where you did see that shift. Host Seth Richardson is on the cspan bus in cleveland. We will take viewers to todd in dayton, ohio on the phone this morning. Go ahead. Caller i had a comment on with the sanctuary it is not called a sanctuary city. It is called a welcoming city. I do not know how democrats are going to do well in dayton because they do run completely the city of dayton. There is not one republican commissioner. There is nothing down there. I would like to know what you guys think about dayton and the city of dayton. We had the greatest aquifer. We have a great aquifer we take you to washington. This is live on cspan.
