As it turns out, not everybody around the country thinks like a DNC talking points memo, which is surprising to some journalists:

When I met w/ GOP voters this week in Georgia, I was struck by how they're alarmed about inaction, not about Russia. https://t.co/Xf7mILp600 pic.twitter.com/zNXiRV0oOs

Perhaps!

Shockingly lost in the #BeltwayBubble. Amazing that so many in the political media have no idea how they are perceived.

The fact you're still "struck" by what voters think outside DC/NYC is the actual news story here https://t.co/J9km7fY6M5

Because the Russia thing is nonsense and our country has serious problems that need solving. https://t.co/oxHyNOSFbu

You really need to get out of DC-NY more. The "Russia" story has never played outside the Beltway. https://t.co/Cm8uNkew9f

DC Media live in a bubble of their own self-important making. When they step out of the echo-chamber they are stunned, shocked and alarmed.. https://t.co/bqxGCHux4T
