Amy Walter returns to the pod for a pundit therapy session. She and Sarah discuss:
-A recent focus group of Georgia swing voters, and what they think of Sen. Jon Ossoff and his opponent.
-The massive polling misses in the Wisconsin and Michigan primaries, and listen to a focus group of Wisconsin voters that tell us (in retrospect) how David Crowley was able to pull of a last minute surge.
-In light of AOC's 'Woke 1 was crazy' comments, they discuss swing voters' biggest complaints about each of our political parties, and whether the parties' brand problems are driven by politicians, or by other people in voters' lives.
