We talk to Pat Kreitlow to start the show. Discuss the trend of political leaders to "double down" like we are seeing with the mayor of Wausau and how it's hurting American democracy to have a handful of states get all of the attention in presidential races. Plus, Brittney Merlot with more on the Florida hurricane and we take a look at the kind of political mailings found in Chad's mailbox.
