Rural America is Trump country. Last November Trump carried 93 percent of rural counties. How can Democrats change that? Anthony Flaccavento and Erica Etelson, cofounders of the Rural Urban Bridge Initiative, have a strategy.
Also, 20 minutes without Trump: We know a lot about the bad things J. Edgar Hoover did, but it turns out there’s a lot we didn’t know.
