November 19, 2019 Deep State or Policy Experts | What's going on in DC and a look at the Democratic party's new candidates
Is the Deep State at work in framing President Donald Trump for impeachment? That’s what Republican analyst and Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord thinks. And it’s exactly why he thinks people should pay no attention whatsoever to the testimonies now underway on Capitol Hill.

Democratic analyst Rogette Harris disagrees. She says the people testifying now include some of the most respected foreign service and policy experts in the country, and Americans ought to be listening to what they have to say.

Depending on what side of the political spectrum you occupy, the Deep State is a very real threat to American democracy, or the foundation that prevents roque presidents from running amok.

This episode of Battleground PA is full of as many fireworks as the hearings that could lead to the impeachment of the nation’s 45 president.

And if Harris and Lord disagree on the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump, they also have different views on the Democratic candidates running to unseat him. Mayor Pete Buttigieg may have catapulted to the top the heap in Iowa, but both Harris and Lord agree on one thing – he’s unlikely to become the nominee without more support among minority voters.

They also find common ground on another thing. They say Iowa is no longer a bell weather for just how well candidates will do throughout the nation.
