What do “The Joe Rogan Experience”, “Call Her Daddy” & “The Ringer Fantasy Football Show” all have in common? A surprising role in the most recent election. Our colleague @samsmith3121 is out with a piece in @PRNews about the changing definition of "media" and how strategies are.

Thanks to @tamarakeithNPR for letting me share thoughts on the challenges facing convention planners over the past month.

Democrats thought they were returning to a more normal kind of convention. Then came a decision which gave them 29 days to remake it all.

"Controlled Chaos" and "Death Stare" were also our nicknames for @JeffreyNussbaum and @KennethBaer. Fun collaborating with these two again on the pages of @politico magazine.

I blame the advice that i listened to and followed. Critics should focus on those that advised me not me for following that advise!!!.
Any political reporter/commentator claiming Christie “ended” my campaign in 2016 is lazy or dumb. NH debate sucked because instead of hitting back when attacked like I wanted to, I listened to advice about “pivoting” & not “punching down” on a CC who was at 7% & about to drop.
