Democrats have a long way to go if they’re ever going to match Donald Trump’s mastery of long-form podcast interviews. As the WSJ’s James Freeman notes, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently flubbed an interview with popular left-of-center podcast host Sam Fragoso, who threw Warren on the defensive with questions about her past attacks on the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and past comments about Joe Biden’s health. … The Globe also has a piece on the semi-disastrous interview. As does MassLive.com. … What is it with leading Dems and spotty interview skills? NYT flashback: “Harris Has a Lot of Strengths. Giving Interviews Isn’t One of Them.”

Oh, what the heck. Might as well roll this Karl Rove column into this post: “Democrats’ Tailspin Continues.” … Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders can’t give a straight answer to this simple question from the hosts at WBUR’s Here and Now: “Your Fighting Oligarchy Tour is drawing huge crowds, and yet polls show the Democratic Party with historically low approval ratings. What’s the disconnect?” … Fox News is loving this spat: “James Carville calls David Hogg’s plan to primary ‘ineffective’ Dems the ‘most insane thing’ he’s ever heard.” … I’m definitely with Carville on this one. Does Hogg realize Republicans, not moderate Dems, are the ones who need to be defeated? Apparently not. And he’s a DNC vice chair, for heaven’s sake.

Update — From NBC: “DNC chair rebukes David Hogg for pushing primaries against Democratic incumbents.”
