I was watching Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace in the background. She had a panel that included Matthew Dowd. I consider Dowd one of the better analysts on TV because he is very pragmatic, and while he is not a progressive, he is honest about his values.

As I listened in the background, I heard Matthew say that Democrats should not run on fixing inflation and on the economy. And he kept on going with this narrative. I rewound the program to make sure I was hearing him correctly. Indeed I was.

I immediately DMed Matthew Dowd. I asked if he would give me a quick interview in between segments. He said he had 10 minutes. So, we did it.

I told Matthew that I thought his advice on Deadline White House was great but counterintuitive. He expanded on it on Politics Done Right.

Dowd first laid out the case.
