This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national political
correspondent Mara Liasson, and the Texas Newsroom's capitol reporter Sergio
Martinez-Beltrán.

decide if they'd rather have the political issue or the policy solution.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national political
correspondent Mara Liasson, and the Texas Newsroom's capitol reporter Sergio
Martinez-Beltrán.
