Episode Details

With the midterms a month out, Matt admits that for the first time in his life he can't read the mood of the country. The polls point every which way, his old bellwether friends have hardened into partisans, and his Facebook feed of burned-out liberals offers more fatigue than fury, which he takes as a good sign for Republicans. To make sense of it all, he time-travels to 1966, the year of his first memories and another midterm: Swinging London, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Reagan's first run for governor and peak Nelson Rockefeller, campaign ads included.
