in politics, and just labels are inevitable in politics, and ijust described your party, the progress partyay, as right wing and populist. do you accept that label? no, it is not a populist party, it is libertarian. we focus on free trade, market orientation, lower taxes, less states, individualfreedom. yeah. that is the origin of your party, but it seems to me in recent years increasingly, you and your party, have honed in — on a populist fashion — on the issue of immigration. immigration is an important issue to my party, as it is in many countries in europe and that has to do with the fact that we have seen a lot of migration and to some extent it has been damaging into many countries economies. so what we have done in norway is that we have... it hasn't been damaging your economy, you have one of, if not the strongest economy in europe. it is good, it is doing well. it was hit by the oil price shock in 2014, that affected us very much and at the same time we had the flow of migration also to norway, which meant that we had to tighten the immigration policy and now we have control. so we

we have the first is former president roosevelt who came back to run, the progressive party. in the middle we have woodrow wilson and we have taft running for the republican party. in the cartoon, you see on the eve of the election, you see all the candidates' public persona how they are behaving and confident and jovial and laughing and you see how they feel inside, how they must be nervous and anxious. in that race, the republicans were split and woodrow wilson went onto win the election. so this cartoon deals with the presidential primaries. if the party goes to a divisive primary, they'll have a hard time for people to coalesc coalesce -- you know he has cc on his little golf ball. he's saying i breathe through the primary links and i was never once off the fair way. he easily won that election. some more modern elections towards the end of berryman's career. the last election he drew was the 1948 elections. this was in the early part of the election. this is senator taft from ohio, he's looking at the electoral college map planning his schedule. if you are president, you

have the first is former president roosevelt who came back to run as the bull moose party, the progressive party. and then the middle we have woodrow wilson who ran as the democratic nominee and then we have incumbent president, william howard taft, running for the republican party. and in this cartoon you see on the eve of the election you see all the candidates public persona, how they're behaving, how they're very confident and jovial and laughing and then you see them how they feel really inside, how they must be nervous and anxious. in that race, the republicans were split and woodrow wilson, the democrat, actually went on to run on and win the election. so this second cartoon deals with presidential primaries. and as you can imagine, if a party goes through a particularly bitter or divisive primary, they have a very hard time getting people to coalesce behind their eventual nominee. this is what happened in 1924 with the democrats. you see them off the fairway in the bitter contest bunker fighting each other while incumbent president calvin coolidge, he's represented here by the elephant.

highlighted and you said three or four out of five are veterans, are they progressive enough for the mood of the democratic party? and if people get too progressive in a democratic party, does that then run the risk of republicans turning out and beating your candidates? >> well, first of all, no side has ever lost because they had too much energy. there's no doubt about it that democrats have the wind at our back in a really major way. i do think one thing that josh may have missed is the fact that democrats may have differences of opinions in these primaries, but we are all unified around the goal of winning back the house because more than anything else, democrats are motivated to put a check on republican controlled washington which is increasing their health care cost, which is giving handouts to big corporation and the very rich instead of the middle class. and of course, president trump is factor there, not the only factor, but he is a factor. >> dana: you're the communications director. you're not using the word impeach president trump as a plank going into the midterms. i wonder if you think there are t
