host: the president in hershey, pennsylvania this past week, he has made more campaign stops in pennsylvania then just about any other state in 2020. guest: there is a reason for that. do you remember the song allentown by billy joel? live in aou manufacturing era -- area, that was sort of a symbol of what was happening to all manufacturing areas. indoes the same thing pennsylvania that he did in youngstown, ohio. these areas are symbolic of wheregreat lakes states where voter sentiment and experiences and economic decline and economic resurgence are very similar. that is why he chooses pennsylvania as a sort of this stage to tell his story. even your book takes an broader historical context in terms of our national politics. following along with brad todd -- for 20 consecutive elections, two parties put forward the same to basic kind of nominees -- democrats running as a reincarnation of franklin roosevelt, republicans running in the shape of barry goldwater. no longerhe two sides resembles their modern templates. guest: the two parties completely realigned during the 2012 election. barack
