In this episode, we speak with Josh Kraushaar, Political Editor at National Journal and co-author of the Almanac of American Politics. Josh provides us with a national political reporter's perspective on how campaigns and politicians could better handle the media and get their message out. We learn from Josh what it takes to be a successful journalist and the lessons he learned from his mentors. We also cover some of the key issues facing politics in America today leading up to the 2016 Presidential Election.
